Leicester midfielder Andy King is calling on his side to finish the job and not let their title dreams fade away.

Leicester looked to have given their title rivals an opening after a 2-2 draw with West Brom on Tuesday, but ended the round of matches a further point clear at the top after Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City all lost on Wednesday.

Wales international King, who scored against the Baggies, is urging his team to finish the job, and not drop points again like they did on Tuesday.

"We have to make sure we finish strong to actually achieve something rather than say, 'We had a good three quarters of the season and it fizzled out," said King.

"It has been brilliant, it is hard to put your finger on it at the moment because we haven't actually achieved anything this season yet.

"But we are enjoying the ride, I speak for everyone when I say we are playing full of confidence as you have seen but 10 games to go is a long way."

Leicester have been in the top four since October and look on course for a first-ever Champions League appearance, and King insists only qualifying for the competition should not be seen as a disappointment if they miss out on the title.

"No, I don't think anyone in there is thinking that. We are absolutely buzzing where we are at this stage to even be considered in that conversation and that sort of breath," he added.

"People are saying Champions League football which is brilliant but with 10 games to go there are a lot of points to be won so we have to make sure we are there or thereabouts."
