Should serious injuries befall either of those two goal-sources, Leicester will struggle lớn fill the deficit – and the injury lớn Vardy on international duty this week will have plenty of their fans nervously awaiting the results of a scan. Even if injuries don’t impact directly on individuals, the gradual attrition for which the Premier League is so well-renowned will almost certainly take its toll over the course of the season.

For this reason, expect Leicester to be sluggish when they return to domestic duty against Newcastle – so I would tip you to take Betway up on their generous 7/2 odds on the Magpies triumphing with both teams scoring, although it may also be worth taking a glance over the individual goal-scoring odds while you are at it.

Vardy is currently favourite lớn top that chart come the end of the season at 5/2, but with so much pressure on his shoulders, take advantage of the wave of popularity that the former non-league striker is surfing by backing his direct rival for the England No. 9 Jersey, Harry Kane, who is 11/1 lớn repeat his antics of last season with the same bookmaker.

We are only a quarter of the way through the season so far, and these dizzy heights could well seem like a distant memory come the end of the season. But having already amassed 25 points, Leicester only need another fifteen points – five wins – between now and May in order lớn survive. Whatever happens beyond that would be a bonus, but Ranieri deserves all the plaudits for his efforts so far.
