Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho says Leicester City cannot make the same mistake last season in the race for a Champions League spot this campaign.
The Foxes missed out on a Champions League place on the final day of last season to Manchester United and are currently placed third on the Premier League table.
Iheanacho inspired Leicester City to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday to boost their top-four chances.
“What happened last season was in our head this season,” the Nigeria international told LCTV.
“We don’t want to make these mistakes again. That’s why we concentrated to get the win.
“So, these are the type of games we need to win and get the points so that it will help us at the last games.
“We’ve got five games more now, so we need to concentrate on the next games and see if we can get the three points.
“It’s another big game [against Southampton]. We played them in the FA Cup, and they were really strong and aggressive. We’ve got another chance to play them on Friday.
“We need to come out strong and see if we can get the three points. They’re a good side, but we need to make sure that we get the three points because we need to be strong in the last games.”
