England head into the Pumas clash on the back of an 18-9 defeat to Australia which saw Martin Johnson's men slip to their lowest ranking of eighth in the world.

And with the might of New Zealand due at Twickenham on November 21, Cueto knows England cannot afford to suffer a second straight defeat to the Pumas.

England drew their summer Test series 1-1 with Argentina but Cueto acknowledges the English rugby public will arrive at Twickenham tomorrow demanding a victory.

"There is huge pressure this week," said the Sale Sharks winger. "This is a game that people expect us to win. That is not always the way you want to go into a game.

"The All Blacks is a huge game regardless - but to be going into it having played two and lost two is certainly not where we want to be.

"We want to get some momentum behind us. We need to pick up from the first half against the Aussies, build on that and go in to this weekend improving and confident.

"With the quality of the players we have got, the quality of the Premiership and the structures we have in this country, eighth is not acceptable and we are desperate to improve that."

England have just five victories from 12 Tests since Martin Johnson took hands-on control just over a year ago and their record against the leading southern hemisphere opposition is poor.

In six Tests against Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and Argentina, England have managed just one victory, against the Pumas at Old Trafford in June.

England's performance against the Wallabies was described by assistant coach John Wells as "turgid".

But Cueto is confident that having that game under their belt will help England, who have made four changes in a bid to inject some urgency and dynamism into the side.

Hooker Dylan Hartley, number eight James Haskell and scrum-half Paul Hodgson all start, and Cueto said: "We need to keep defenders more honest and put more speed on the ball.

"We have a huge amount of faith in where we are going. The more time we spend together the better we get. Look at the Six Nations: we gained momentum as the tournament went on and improved week in and week out.

"On the back of being together for three weeks, and having played that game last week, hopefully we will see a big improvement this weekend."
