Leicester Tigers captain Geordan Murphy says that he wants the Premiership leaders to continue their ruthless streak as they search for another Guinness Premiership title.
The Ireland international has played no small part in the Tigers strong form of late which has seen them score an average of 38 points a game over the last five matches.
Murphy wants the form to continue for another three matches as the club target yet another domestic title.
"It will be difficult for sides to come here to Welford Road," he said.
"It's important for us to be at home in the semi-finals of the competition and we are there now.
"That was a carrot that we have been chasing since the start of the season." he told the Leicester Mercury.
"We have got Saracens here and then the play-offs and we are in good shape going into those games.
"Just because we are at home, it doesn't necessarily mean that we are guaranteed a win, though.
"It doesn't matter who we play, there are a lot of teams coming into form.We just need to be on our mettle, play our game and, hopefully, blow everyone off the field.
The Tigers have a weekend off this weekend as the semi-finals of the Heineken Cup take centre stage but they will be using the time off to prepare for the arrival of Saracens at Welford Road on May the 8th.
Murphy wants Leicester to rack up their 11th win out of their last 12 league games in order to take momentum into the semi-finals.
"Sarries did something that few other clubs have done by winning at Northampton on Saturday," he said.
"They will be targeting us for another win and it should be a cracking game.
"We are playing positive rugby and hopefully referees will appreciate that fact.
"Everyone here is enjoying their rugby and it is nice to play with the sun on your back and with a dry ball."
As Leicester lead the Premiership table they are assured of a place in the play offs and will play Wasps, Bath or London Irish in the Guinness Premiership semi-final at Welford Road on Sunday the 16th of May.
