Jeffrey Schlupp told Sky Sports News HQ it is the team spirit fostered over two years that has been the cornerstone of Leicester's astonishing rise to the Premier League summit.

"It's a special bond in the team and we all get on so well.

"I've said it before but we have kept the same team from when we got promoted two years ago and the new additions have fitted in really well and we are a really tight bunch.

"It's fair to say we struggled last season for quite a while and if anything that brought us closer together. It's definitely one of the key factors in our success.

"We just show everyone what we are actually capable of but we definitely don't want to get carried away and the manager is always saying about getting to that 40-point mark. I think we are proving what we are actually capable of in this league.

"We have played against the champions last night and we deserved to win and we have been like that the whole season. We have lost once and we have had some great results. We are just going to keep that going for as long as we can and then you never know."
