Jamie Vardy – Striker

The England international is arguably Leicester’s biggest threat due to his blistering pace and great finishing ability, with this a phenomenal work rate will put Southampton’s defenders under pressure with limited time to make a correct pass.

Vardy currently has 17 Premier League goals to his name this season, with one assist to boot, this would make him the Foxes’ top scorer and 5th in the league – the 31-year-old also holds the record of most consecutive league games scored with 11, which should show you of his pedigree.
