Marti Cifuentes has highlighted the importance of Leicester looking inwards amid a tight Championship table at this stage in the season.

The Foxes boss told BBC Radio Leicester: "I think the most important thing is to focus on ourselves.

"Obviously, the position in the table, it helps to understand where you are in terms of performances but when you see how tight, how competitive it is in this division, you understand that small edges are so important."

Leicester currently sit 15th in the Championship with 24 points from 17 games but a win against Sheffield United on Saturday could close the gap to the sides currently occupying the play-off spots.

Cifuentes continued: "It's very important again to look at ourselves, how we can improve our level during the games, how we can pick up that consistency during the games and from game to game.

"That's where my focus is because... we don't want the difference at the top of table and us to increase. Just the opposite. But at the same time for me the most important thing is to make sure the team improves then I know that this will reflect on the table."
