LECIESTER CITY WILL USE CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING EXPERIENCE TO CLAIM PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE SAYS WES MORGAN

Jamaica international and Leicester city Defender Wes Morgan has promised Leicester City will draw on their past experience of winning the Championship in 2013-14 to see out what could be an historic season.
"It was just momentum [in 2014]. We kept winning games, in fantastic form, full of confidence," Morgan said. "We went into games knowing we could win and we were doing so by big margins.
"It is hard to compare that to the Premier League. The games are much tougher, and they are not as frequent. There is a lot of preparation going into games, a lot of thought. We approach games in the way to maybe stop the opposition first, then try to win in different ways.
"The experience of going up from the Championship will help us this time round. The lads are full of confidence to keep it going. We are approaching it one game at a time, not getting carried away thinking, 'If we win the next three or four games, we've done whatever.'
"We try to take it one game, right that's ticked off, then prepare for the next one. We're not thinking we need to win the next three of five. That's the way we probably looked at it in the Championship."
Morgan and Robert Huth have formed a solid back pairing for Ranieri's side throughout their run, which the former Nottingham Forest defender said is due their knowledge of each other's games.
Morgan added: "We understand each other, we know each other's jobs. It is a lot easier when you have a sense of each other's roles and abilities, strengths and weaknesses. I have to say it is more of a team defensive performance. It is not just us two at the back keeping clean sheets.
"We have full-backs in the right positions at the right times, making important blocks and interceptions, headers. Simmo [Simpson] was unbelievable at that against Southampton. He was in some key positions to clear the ball. You might look at me and Huthy as the reason we are keeping clean sheets but it's definitely a team effort.
"I had no rest in the summer [after playing for Jamaica in both the Copa America and Gold Cup], constant football. I came back, had two days training and was back into the new season. It has been constant ever since.
"I try to get my rest in when I can. The gaffer looks after me. He gives me extra days off throughout the week if possible. You have to keep going. It's been tough but I feel OK and I'll keep going."
