Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho has urged his team mates to get prepared for a tough game when they host Sheffield United in Sunday’s Premier League encounter.
The Nigeria international has played a crucial role for the Foxes this season, having helped the club to their current third spot on the Premier League table.
Meanwhile, the centre-forward, who has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 26 appearances across all competitions this campaign, insist there was no room for complacency.
“The last time we played them it was quite tough. We came back and won the game in the last minute,” Iheanacho told the club website.
“This one is going to be a different game as well. They’re trying to get off the bottom of the table, so it’s going to be a tough game and a different game. We need to be ready to fight to get the points that we need.
“People might talk about our form, but I think we’re doing really well. Collectively, as a team, we’re really playing well and doing well.
“The manager and his staff are really, really helping us to grow our football and they’re really good teachers.
“It’s really tactical, technical and physical, so we’re happy with where we are at the moment, but we need to keep going.
“We need to keep getting more points by taking it one game at a time. Hopefully, we can win at the weekend and then we’ll focus on the next game.”
The Super Eagles forward will hope to continue in his recent impressive form against Sheffield United.
Iheanacho is part of the Nigeria squad that will take on the Republic of Benin and Lesotho in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nation qualifiers later this month.
