It's a tough run-in, but we can make the play-offs – Leicester City's Andy King

Andy King has no fears about facing the Championship's big guns in the tough campaign run-in.

Leicester City have five crucial games remaining in their quest for a play-off place, culminating in clashes with Crystal Palace, Watford and Nottingham Forest.

It looks a tall order but expect a number of twists and turns in what should be an exciting but nerve-wracking final few weeks.

King is relishing the prospect and said: "We have five games to make something of our season and everyone's fully behind each other and working hard in training to do that.

"We've just got to get into the play-offs.

"Maybe earlier in the season we were pushing for second place, but we know that's gone now.

"If we can get into the play-offs then it is anyone's game and I don't think anyone will really want to meet us.

"We have some big teams to play – and that is going to suit us.

"If you're having to play catch-up, which we are doing at the moment, it is better that we play teams above us and take points off them.

"We need to put a good little run together, that is the main objective, but we are confident of beating anyone in this league."

City's performances over recent weeks have been below par, but King believes they are back on track after an encouraging display at Brighton on Saturday, where they gleaned a point.

"That draw gave us a confidence boost," said the 24-year-old Wales international.

"If we had won, which we should have done, it would have taken us up the table into the top six.

"So to go to Brighton and play the way we did was an encouraging sign."

King was full of praise for the travelling support, with a shade more than 2,000 journeying south to the Amex Stadium.

"They were outstanding, as they have been all season" he said. "Even at Barnsley (on Easter Monday) when we were poor, they stuck by us.

"They are a great credit to themselves and the club, and we really appreciate that."
