Player to Watch: Jamie Vardy

The 37-year-old striker is starting every third game on average this season, counting the 28 he was able to play, but that didn't stop Jamie Vardy from being the club's top scorer once again. He has been on the scoresheet 14 times.

Vardy has become a Leicester City legend, this is his 12th year at the club and he has broken numerous records that will be hard to surpass in the future. This might be his last season at the club for which he made 457 appearances and scored 186 goals.
