Leicester boss Claude Puel insists the Foxes cannot continue to rely on their old ways and must evolve.
The Foxes chief is adamant his side need more to keep their rivals guessing.
Leicester won the 2016 title deploying a swashbuckling counter-attacking style while Puel has adopted a more possession-based game since his appointment last year.
Striker Jamie Vardy has said Puel's tactics do not suit him while there has been speculation surrounding the squad's support for the manager.
But they beat Chelsea and Manchester City over Christmas and now sit seventh in the Premier League ahead of the visit of Cardiff to the King Power Stadium.
Puel told a press conference: "It's important to try to have a complete game. We need to perform on the counter, but also in a set attack.
"If we want to improve this and find a good ranking in the table, we need to do this completely.
"It's difficult to maintain results and a good performance because other teams know (how) Leicester play. It's important to improve.
"We've had a lot of difficult things to manage. We needed to manage to come back with a strong character.
"I hope we can find more consistency in our play for the second part of the season. The Premier League is a fight with teams together, with few points between them."
Puel has no new injury concerns but continues to be without Daniel Amartey (broken ankle) ahead of another emotional game.
Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others were killed when his helicopter crashed outside of the King Power Stadium in October.
Leicester played in Cardiff, winning 1-0, in their first game after the accident in November.
Puel said: "When we played Cardiff it was a tough game. Because it was the first game after the accident. It was a lot of emotion.
"We had a fantastic response on the pitch. It was a fantastic feeling with our fans at the end of the pitch. It was a fantastic connection all together.
"I would like to thank Cardiff fans, because they have been fantastic for their support. It was a special day of course and we cannot forget this."
