So, with 11 goals in 11 matches for Leicester so far, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised if Vardy finishes the season scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final while Cristiano Ronaldo sulks on the bench.

“I never speak about it [Vardy’s scoring record]”.
Vardy’s reward has been a regular place in Roy Hodgson’s England squad since he made his debut against the Republic of Ireland in a friendly in June.
“I think Jamie is as exactly what worldwide football needs”. If you do manage to get Jamie Vardy in a pack though on Federation Internationale de Football Association 16 Ultimate Team, you should probably consider selling as now he goes for over 8,000 coins which is incredible for a 71 Silver card. The January window will be key for the club as they have the opportunity to add a couple of quality players to give the squad fresh impetus going into the second half of the season.
“I respect him and his shape, but in my team Jamie plays as a free forward”.
Quique Sanchez Flores’ side have conceded the fewest of any side outside the top five and on-loan defender Nathan Ake believes Watford are becoming increasingly solid. “Leicester have been the surprise of the season so far and he’s a player that sets the tone on the pitch”. Mahrez and Vardy have taken most of the plaudits, but as a unit, Leicester are very good at creating chances.
“The whole back four talk to each other throughout the game and the way we are performing is really good”.
Matty James is Ranieri’s only long-term absentee with a knee injury, while Christian Fuchs could be in line for a return after missing out last week.
Another impressive stat about Leicester is that they are the only team in the top flight to score in every single league game.
He has now scored in eight consecutive Premier League matches, a feat only matched by Manchester United’s Ruud van Nistelrooy and Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge.
– Odion Ighalo is now the highest scorer in Watford’s Premier League history with seven goals – this despite having only played 11 games in the competition.

The Foxes have only lost one game this season, which is the least in the league alongside Tottenham, showing that they are tough to beat.
