Kasper Schmeichel: 'Leicester City cannot become complacent in promotion race'

Kasper Schmeichel believes that promotion-chasing Leicester City must maintain their focus and avoid complacency.

The Foxes are eight points clear at the top of the Championship, but goalkeeper Schmeichel insists that they have a long way to go before claiming automatic promotion to the Premier League.

"We're not almost there. We're not looking at it like that. We will not be talking like that until it's mathematically certain," Schmeichel told the Leicester Mercury.

"For us it's about maintaining focus, maintaining intensity and avoiding complacency.

"We've done a good job up until now but the job's nowhere near done. Fourteen games is a lot of games and we've seen in the Championship that anything can happen."

Leicester play Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
