Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater insists the club "deserves" to be Premier League leaders.
A 3-0 win over Stoke City on Saturday and Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Chelsea the following day ensured Leicester moved back atop the standings after 23 games.
The club are enjoying a dream run in the league this season, and Drinkwater believes their table position is completely deserved.
"After having a difficult first season in the Premier League we have turned the table around," he told The Mirror.
"We are top of the league and it is a huge achievement for this club.
"The points are proof we deserve to be there. If anyone doubts us still it is up to them – as long as we keep proving them wrong.
"It is already a big part of Leicester’s history what we have done. But I think we will leave the excitement to the fans.
"If we can carry it on through the season there will be so much more for them."
