Andy King said there will be no motivation required when Leicester City face rivals Nottingham Forest in a huge game at the City Ground tomorrow,.
Midfielder King said the lunchtime clash is one of the biggest he has played in for City, as not only is local pride at stake in the East Midlands derby but also a possible place in the play-offs.
Both sides know that victory could see them snatch a top-six spot on the final day, as long as results elsewhere also go for them.
King said that makes this game absolutely huge for both sets of players and fans.
"I don't think it's hard to lift ourselves up because we know our goal is to get promoted," he said.
"That's in the back of your mind and you always go out looking to achieve that.
"For a game of this magnitude, it's probably the easiest game of the season to lift ourselves against our local rivals.
"When you go into a game you know you have to win to get sixth place, it is probably the easiest game to get motivated for.
"As a Leicester game, this is one of the biggest games I can remember.
"It is a big game whenever you play for the club, whether that is home or away, in the cup or in the league.
"But with this being a derby and the last game of the season, with the last play-off spot up for grabs and going to their ground as well, it is a game we are relishing. We must look forward to this.
"Even if things go against us, we still want to win the game. The fans deserve it more than anyone. They've been outstanding, especially during the tough time in the last couple of months.
"We want to do it for them – as a professional you want to win every game – and also for the club and most importantly to try to get into the play-offs.
"There is history between the clubs, it is a local rivalry, it adds spice to the game for the players and supporters.
"We just need to make sure we keep our heads."
