Jamie Vardy says he still won't consider Leicester genuine title contenders if they come away with at least a point against Arsenal on Sunday.
The Foxes are five points clear at the top of the Premier League table after victory away at Manchester City on Sunday and were installed as the favourites for the crown with most bookmakers over the weekend.
But boss Claudio Ranieri is refusing to accept the 'favourites tag' and now top scorer Vardy has shrugged off the suggestion Leicester could upset the status quo and win the title.
Asked if a result at Emirates Stadium would make Leicester genuine contenders, Vardy, speaking at the launch of the latest FIFA Ultimate Team 16 Winter Upgrades, said: "No. If you start thinking about it too much it’s going to affect you, it’s as simple as that.

"We’ll just continue to do exactly the same thing we’ve done all season."
But Vardy believes the threat to their hopes extends beyond the current top four.
He added: "[Arsenal] are up there, we’re up there, [Manchester] City are, Tottenham, Manchester United might be ten points adrift but the way this season’s going those ten points can be picked up quickly.
"We’ll just take every game as it comes, knuckle down and hopefully keep picking points up."
