Will Vardy do it?

This season has arguably been Vardy’s most prolific campaign. With nine games of the season remaining, he will need to ensure the two goals he added against Aston Villa are the beginning of the form that will secure the top four and the Golden Boot.

Promisingly, of the Foxes next nine opponents, Vardy struck past seven of them in reverse meeting’s earlier in 2019/20. This could be the telling factor in the conclusion to the Golden Boot race, especially as only three of the teams are in the traditional ‘top six’.

Arsenal are the club who have suffered the most from the pacy finishers, conceding nine goals in nine games. With the Gunners hosting City in the fifth game back, Vardy will hope to add to his impressive record and edge further away from Aubameyang.

With Vardy impressing in the year since Rodgers took over, he will most certainly be up there when Manchester United travel to the King Power Stadium in July. The break from football and sign of improvement in the 4-0 victory over Aston Villa set the boundaries for an intense end of season period for the Foxes man. City played friendlies against the Villans on Wednesday at Villa Park and King Power Stadium.
