Foxes star Andy King believes every member of the City squad will need to play their part ahead of a gruelling schedule of seven games in 27 days.

City haven't named an unchanged side since their FA Cup Third Round victory over Swansea City, but the Welsh international believes rotation has contributed to the team's success.

"You've only got to look at how things have gone for us this season, the team has changed almost from game to game. That's one of the reasons we're doing so well in the league."

King has missed just two Championship games so far this term, but says that every member of the squad is capable of contributing to the push for the play-offs.

"We've got a lot of players who are good at this level, and a big squad and that helps when the players are getting tired and we pick up injuries and suspensions."

Nigel Pearson's side play two games a week for seven of the next nine weeks, but King believes it is a test the squad are looking forward to.

"Of course it's going to be difficult it's a lot of games in a short space of time, but we're a fit bunch of lads. Everyone is looking forward to the challenge and getting a good run of games under our belts."
