Midfielder Matty James has warned that Leicester City cannot afford to get carried away with their recent excellent form and risk losing focus.
City face promotion rivals Middlesbrough on Friday night on the back of three consecutive league victories and back-to-back demolitions of Huddersfield and Bristol City.
As a result, City have moved to within two points of the automatic promotion places and have the chance to go second in the table on Friday with a victory against Boro.
However, James issued a warning to anyone who is getting over-excited.
"The momentum is with us but we don't want to get carried away and look to far ahead of ourselves," he said.
"We have to keep putting in good performances and work hard first and foremost before we start playing our football. That has been a key point all the way through the season.
"We give 100 per cent every game and we just feel if we do that, then our technical ability will see us come out on top.
"We have to focus on Middlesbrough now. We can't get carried away with where we are in the table, we have to focus on this game and try to get three points."
City have been beaten only twice in the league on home soil this season, by Crystal Palace and Cardiff, and James believes their good home record means sides come to the King Power Stadium set-up to frustrate the hosts.
"We need to make the King Power Stadium a fortress, and it has been so far this season," he said.
"Middlesbrough might come for just a point but a lot of teams have done that. If we play our game and focus on what we do best, we will come out on top."
James has struck up a good partnership in the centre of midfield with Danny Drinkwater in recent weeks, and the 21-year-old, who scored his first league goal as a City player at Ashton Gate on Saturday, said it is an understanding they developed together at Manchester United.
"I have played with Drinky before, back in our United days, and we understand each other quite well," said James. "Hopefully, we can continue in this form.
"I think we complement each other well. We try to communicate as much as we can and we concentrate on stopping their midfield players.
"That gives us the platform to keep passing and keep doing the stuff that we do well, keep the ball and keep it moving."
