Despite two straight wins, the Foxes still remain bottom of the top flight, three points from the survival line.

Pearson is confident his side can stay up but does not want to focus on other teams.

Ahead of Saturday's home game with Swansea he said: "I'm very wary of people flipping the emphasis. 

"Our future is in our own hands and if we go into the last game with that we have given ourselves a realistic chance.

"We need to make sure our own run in is what we want it to be.

"It's helpful that other teams are being dragged into it. People are continually adjusting the form table and their predictions.

"We can't get involved in anything apart from behing involved in our own games that may change people's perceptions.

"It's great when results go your way but they only help if you've done your own job."

Leicester have no injuries to first team players and Pearson added: "It is very encouraging."
