Boss Brendan Rodgers insists Leicester’s Champions League destiny remains in their hands.
The Foxes are aiming to hit back following Sunday’s shock 4-1 defeat at relegation-threatened Bournemouth.
They host Sheffield United on Thursday after Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday kept them in the top four heading into the final three Premier League games.
The final day visit of United is shaping up to become a winner-takes-all shootout and Rodgers knows they are still in pole position for the top four.
He said: “The destiny is always with us, if that’s the case we’re happy to accept the responsibility and pressure.
“That’s all you want and with Chelsea losing and Man Utd getting pegged back late on there’ll be other results which will surprise as well. We have been up there for so long, we have fought to stay there and we are in a first-class position.
“It’s a game (Sheffield United) we’ve always earmarked we have to win. The results over the course of the weekend showed you the fluctuation and what a roller-coaster the league is.
“We’ve had a disappointing result so we have to move on from that. That’s the type of mentality we have always had.”
Ben Chilwell (foot) and James Maddison (hip) remain doubts for the Foxes while Caglar Soyuncu is banned after his red card at Bournemouth.
Leicester are still just a point behind Chelsea and following their second-half collapse on the south coast Rodgers called for calm.
“We’ve been up there for most of the season. There’s always pressure, it’s dealing with that. For us it’s that game at a time,” he said.
“It’s a period where there are results which will differ and change. We are still in a incredible position because of the work we’ve done throughout the season.
“We have to stay calm, that’s very important. They are all big games and you can only concentrate on the next game. If we do that it allows us to be in with a better chance of winning.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
