LEICESTER goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel insist his side are riding high on confidence going into a difficult run of games in February.
The Foxes take on Liverpool at the King Power Stadium tonight as they look to keep hold of their three-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Claudio Ranieri's men then face trips to title contenders Manchester City and Arsenal, who sit third and second in the table respectively, later this month.
But far from being intimidated, Schmeichel says his side, who were rockbottom this time last year, are looking forward to the tough run of matches.
"Confidence is high," the Dane said when asked about the February fixtures. "The mood was the same when we were bottom of the league to how it is now.
"There's the same amount of focus, belief and desire. This is what you play for, these kind of high pressure games and it's a period that everyone is just relishing."
Leicester went through January unbeaten in the league - losing only to Tottenham in the FA Cup, and ended the month with a convincing 3-0 win at home to Stoke.
