Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has told his players they must have no regrets when they walk off the pitch after tomorrow's do-or-die clash with big rivals Nottingham Forest.
He also wants his side fully focused on the City Ground and to forget about events 80 miles away in Bolton.
City must win and hope Bolton fail to beat Blackpool to snatch the final play-off spot. Pearson has told his players they must leave everything on the pitch after their final game – and then hope that a win will be enough.
"If they give it their best shot and things go their way then fair enough, but you can't go out and have regrets and say 'I wish I had done this.'," said Pearson.
"You have to give it your best shot. We have to go there and win the game. That makes for quite an interesting scenario.
"It's down to the last game and, unfortunately, not in our hands but we have a bit of a lifeline. We just have to go in and win our own game first and foremost and see what happens.
"The players have been fine this week, they've trained well and we just have to cope with the day. It's not about going there and having any anxiety.
"We just have to play the game. It has the added twist that it's a local derby."
Pearson said City cannot afford to be distracted by events at the Reebok Stadium and must be fully focused on beating Forest.
"As far as we're concerned, we need to win the game. It's really as straightforward as that," he said.
" It is one-off situation. Unfortunately, if we win it might not be enough. We can't get bogged down with other scenarios.
"There's an awful lot riding on the majority of the games and we need to keep the focus on us getting the game right.
"It's very important on lots of different levels but we won't find out until after the game finishes just how important it is.
"It's about trying to focus on the game without getting carried away with the extras in the build-up. We have to win, whether it's a good performance or an ugly one."
