Leicester have bridged gap with top teams says former Fox

Former Leicester City winger Matt Piper believes his ex-club have bridged the gap with top Premier League teams, but success hinges on Jamie Vardy.

Leicester City maintained their excellent recent form in the Premier League with a hard-earned 1-0 victory versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.

This was always going to be a contest that determined more than bragging rights between the two Midlands outfits. A sort of planting of the flag on the EPL table – which Brendan Rodgers’ impressive team now top.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are well-organised and more than a match for most top-flight encounters. But Rodgers’ side managed to control most of the game, despite never finding that illusive second goal. In contemporary times, the Northern Irishman’s management, tactics and system have rightly won him plaudits everywhere.

Jamie Vardy is having another wonderful campaign; the striker is now joint top of the goalscoring chart, with eight finishes so far. That feat comes in what many observers would have imagined could be approaching the twilight era of his wonderful tenure at Leicester. Oh no – how wrong they were, indeed.

Former Fox Matt Piper has made an astute assertion, he believes his ex-club have bridged the gap with the division’s “top teams”. Although, success, according to Piper, hinges on the fitness of Vardy as no replacement was signed. You can read the entire story by clicking right here.

There is an international football break now, for almost two weeks. That means a hiatus from UEL and EPL action. However, when the Foxes return they will be tested even further. Having passed this season’s early trials with flying colours, Leicester then face champions Liverpool at Anfield.
