Leicester boss Enzo Maresca believes it is vital for his players to "enjoy the moment" after the Foxes' fine start to the Championship season.
Leicester are top with 12 wins from 13 games and the Italian manager - who was assistant to Pep Guardiola during Manchester City's treble win last season - says it is important that such form is not considered normal.
"I think nobody's expected it, especially in terms of results," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"It's something unbelievable that the players are doing, unbelievable job. But, as I said many times we are still in October, we still have a long run.
"From the outside it can look like Leicester winning every game is normal but I always same the same - in football we lose more than we win. We need to celebrate.
"It doesn't mean that we've achieved something because we haven't done anything at the moment but we need to enjoy the moment.
"In football something like is happening now is difficult to reach so we need to be proud and continue but at the same time we need to enjoy and I don't want my players to think this is something normal.
"The Championship is very difficult, many clubs they struggle, and I don't think Leicester is the only club in the Championship built to reach something. We need to understand we are on the correct journey in the correct way and it's still a long season but we need to happy."

Winger Abdul Fatawu says Leicester City are determined to break more records after setting two Championship milestones in Saturday's 3-1 win at Swansea.
The victory saw Leicester become the first side in the history of the English second tier to win their first six away league games of a season, and the fastest to amass 33 points in a Championship campaign.
"With the squad we have, I hope there are more to come," Fatawu told BBC Radio Leicester after scoring in the win against the Swans.
"I'm not surprised by the win. The confidence is so high, I believe in every player we have."
Fatawu said it was "a great feeling" to score his first goal for the club on Saturday - with the strike taking on more significance as it put Leicester ahead after trailing 1-0.
