LEICESTER City boss Nigel Pearson believes his current squad boasts plenty of top-flight potential as the Foxes look to take another giant stride back towards the Barclays Premier League on Friday night.
Victory over Sheffield Wednesday alone will not be enough to guarantee promotion from the Sky Bet Championship for Pearson's men - though it could come on Saturday if both Queens Park Rangers and Derby County subsequently fail to win.
Despite the mathematics, Leicester are effectively assured of ending their 10-year absence from the top tier after moving 16 points clear of third-placed QPR with last weekend's win at Burnley.
And Pearson is convinced his current players have every chance of holding their own at a higher level.
"We have some quality at this level and I believe a lot of our players are capable of making the step up when we achieve that," he said.
"It is all right having good players but they have to be the right sort.
"They have to have the same goals and when things get tough, they have to be prepared to keep those values going.
"You can't build a team overnight. It has taken time to build a squad of players good enough."
Leicester will be without Jamie Vardy, who injured his groin in the win at Burnley, while Zoumana Bakayogo is still out.
Mid-table Wednesday hope to recall Michail Antonio after recovering from ankle ligament damage he sustained against Huddersfield in February.
