Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira says the Foxes "have more to lose" than their opponents Millwall when they meet in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Leicester have made an unsteady start to the new season, losing three of their first five Premier League games to lie 12th in the table.
"If you go in with the wrong mentality it can be difficult, because we have more to lose than them," Pereira said.
"We have to go in with a good mentality and do our best."
The 27-year-old could return to the side after suspension but Jonny Evans is a doubt after suffering a foot injury, and fellow defenders James Justin and Wesley Fofana are long-term absentees.
