Howard has scored seven goals for the Foxes this season

Leicester City striker Steve Howard says they will not ease off despite going seven points clear at the top of League One with a 2-0 win at Yeovil.

Howard and Joe Mattock both found the net for the Foxes on Tuesday night.

Howard told BBC Radio Leicester: "It was always going to be a big win - so we're just trying to continue this winning streak that we're on.

"There are a lot of games coming up, so hopefully we'll stay injury free and ride these fixtures out."

"We're playing some good stuff so hopefully we'll continue," Howard added.

Leicester face Huddersfield, Brighton and Northampton in the league before the end of January.

Their nearest league chasers are MK Dons with 50 points and third-placed Millwall with 47.
