Kasper Schmeichel insists Leicester have "achieved nothing" yet as they close in on an unprecedented Premier League title.
Leicester are seven points clear at the top of the table with five games remaining, and host West Ham at the King Power Stadium on Super Sunday.
Schmeichel, who has been at the club since 2011, has kept five clean sheets in his last five games, but insists the club are not celebrating yet.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Schmeichel said: "We've achieved nothing in our eyes yet, we want to finish the season on a high and our next game is vital for us.
"Clean sheets are a foundation for winning games and that's by no mean just down to me, it's down to the whole team and the way we defend. Right from the top to the back two. It's a great platform, but wins are more important.

"I don't like to single out just the back four because it has been a team effort, but you can never fault these guys because they give 100 per cent, they are honest lads and throw their bodies in front of anything and any mistakes are made in this team through honesty and not laziness.
"You can't be anything but proud of the lads. We're enjoying this, this is what you're in football for."
Schmeichel, an avid fan of NFL and the New England Patriots fan, received a "good luck message" from legendary quarterback Tom Brady ahead of the final five games of the season.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper was chuffed to receive the message, and insists it shows that the hype surrounding Leicester is being felt around the world, not just in England.
"Tom Brady, wow. A big hero of mine, so that's fantastic. He's the best at his sport ever, I think, so that's impressive.
"I'm quite a big fan. That's brilliant, I've got to admit.
"We only really get to experience it here in England, but that shows it's gone everywhere. I've had messages from all over the world, and it's captured the imagination of everyone."
