When Leicester City claimed a crucial victory at QPR in December last season, it kick-started a phenomenal run of form which catapulted Nigel Pearson's men towards the Premier League.
Jamie Vardy's winner at Loftus Road sparked a 20-game unbeaten run, during which City dropped only 10 points, and it proved a pivotal victory in City's title success.
City head to QPR tomorrow at a similar point in the season but facing a different scenario as they look to end a run of seven games without a victory, and looking for their first goal in more than 500 minutes of action.
Striker Chris Wood believes a victory over Harry Redknapp's side again, who sit two points behind Leicester at the bottom of the table, could have a similar impact on City's season as the last campaign.
"That was a great win there last season and, hopefully, that is what we are planning to do again," said the New Zealander.
"It will be a tough game for us but, if we do get the win, we have shown we can kick on. We did it last season."
Wood says belief within the City squad, which is predominantly the same as the one that won at QPR last season, is still strong despite their recent run.
"I just think we have been a little unfortunate that games haven't gone our way," he said.
"It is just one of those things. We knew it was going to be tough and all the sides coming up know it is going to be tough.
"But we have a very good squad and we know we can stay up.
"We can draw some confidence from our display last week against Sunderland. As long as we are creating those chances, it is always a positive.
"It is just about sticking the ball in the back of the net, but we got a clean sheet. We need to build on that now going into this game."
Wood is hoping to cap a personally good international break with a City victory.
The 22-year-old was handed the captain's armband for New Zealand's games in China and Thailand, and he described it as a huge honour.
"It is a massive achievement for me," he said. "It was one I never really thought I would get the chance to do.
"As a kid growing up it was normally the defenders or midfielders who got the captaincy.
"It is always nice to go away with my country. It is like a little fresh air, a different environment and I get to play some games.
"I feel when I go away with the national team I can hopefully put in a performance for the country and bring that back for the games over here."
