Leicester star Jamie Vardy will be hoping to fire his side to success this term, although many pundits have predicted that the 29-year-old will find this season to be much harder challenge, with other clubs more aware of the threats he possesses.

Last season saw the former Fleetwood Town man score 24 Premier League goals, as the Foxes went on to win the league by 10 points.

This season began in more frustrating fashion for Claudio Ranieri’s men, however, as their struggles on their opening day defeat to Hull City were typified by Vardy’s sluggish display…

The England international has full confidence and faith in his own abilities, however, and many tipped him to bounce back from his disappointing showing on the opening day.

Next up for the Foxes was Arsenal – a team that Vardy turned down in the summer, but unfortunately, he struggled once again to reach the heights of last year…

Leicester’s opening two games saw them take just one point from a possible six, and their next game, at home to Swansea City, was a must-win.

Finally, Vardy found his scoring touch, smashing the ball home in typical fashion after a run in behind the Swansea defence…

With Vardy’s first league goal of the season safely in the bag, he headed off on international duty with England for their World Cup Qualifying tie against Slovakia.

The 29-year-old started on the substitutes bench and failed to make an appearance for Sam Allardyce’s side, however.

He is now back training with the Leicester squad ahead of their trip to Liverpool on Saturday in the 17:30pm kick-off.
