Nigel Pearson's Leicester have won their last five games

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson says his side have the momentum which could keep them top of the league.

The Foxes head the League One table after their 3-2 win at Huddersfield at the weekend.

They could stay top even though they have no game until 18 October because of their three-point lead over second-placed Scunthorpe.

Pearson told BBC Radio Leicester: "We're in a good run of form and have the momentum."

Due to international call-ups, Leicester's home game against Yeovil, scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed.

But results went the Foxes' way at the weekend, meaning that Scunthorpe need to win by four clear goals at Crewe on Saturday to overtake them.

Despite Leicester's good start to the season Pearson has insisted his side cannot afford to drop their guard.

"Complacency's something that we can't allow to creep in," he said.

"I'm not a fool, there will be difficult weeks throughout the season."
