Henrik Pedersen is itching to get back into action when the Tigers face Queens Park Rangers at the KC Stadium on Saturday.

After a two-week break, City will be looking to add to their four-match winning run knowing that victory could take them into the automatic promotion places for the first time this season.

"We're all looking forward to tomorrow and personally, I would have preferred it if we'd had a game last weekend as well," said Pedersen.

"We had the momentum with us, but we still do and we just need to make sure that we go into the game with the same attitude as we have done for the last four."

Despite manager Phil Brown allowing his players some time off last weekend, Pedersen says the Tigers have been at full speed in training this week and is adamant that nobody has let their guard down.

"This week has been a normal one for us in training. The manager gave us a couple of days off last week to recharge our batteries a little bit.

"That means we'll be going into the last five games a lot fresher."

Along with City, QPR are currently one of the form teams in the division and Pedersen is expecting a difficult afternoon.

"All games are tough in this league and that has been shown during the course of the season," said the 32-year-old.

"There are no games when you can turn up and just expect to win. But if we go into it with the confidence we've shown recently, we have a good chance of getting a win.

"There'll be another big crowd inside the ground tomorrow and it's always nice to play in front of them. The way they encourage us to go forward is always a help."

With plenty of games taking place in midweek having an effect on City's position, Pedersen admits it has been hard not to take notice, but he's happy that the situation is in their own hands.

"You can't help but look at the results, but we know that we don't need to rely on them.

"It's always nice when you can decide things yourself, but for the moment we have to take one game at a time.
