Leicester returned to the winners’ enclosure after five matches in midweek, thanks in part to playing Norwich, but largely because of Jamie Vardy slotting back into the starting lineup. It was Vardy’s first 90 minutes in the league for Leicester since 28 December after hamstring and knee injuries ravaged this year for the striker. Lucky for him relegated Watford are the next team up and he will no doubt be eyeing up another tension-releasing onslaught in front of goal. Brendan Rodgers will surely be looking at long-term replacements for Vardy if the manager himself intends to stick around at the King Power for the long haul. Roy Hodgson’s side finally ended their 11-match losing streak at home against Everton but bettering that with a win feels unlikely considering their raft of players injured or struggling for match fitness.
