Janmaat desperate to stop Vardy scoring run

Vardy scored for a ninth-straight Premier League game when he clattered home a penalty to sink Watford in Leicester’s previous match and a goal at Newcastle United on Saturday would equal former Manchester United star Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of netting in 10 consecutive top-flight games.

“We know it won’t be easy because he is so quick, but we also have a few quick defenders, and whoever is up against him will have to be ready”. If he is fit he plays because every time he wants to play. “We hope we can stop him”. We don’t want to get too carried away looking to the future.

Vardy has scored in nine consecutive games and is the league’s 12-goal top scorer as he closes in on van Nistelrooy’s feat and could miss the game and still return the following week to face Manchester United with his streak intact. They are in great form which Newcastle are in bad form so the result should be a Leicester win.

On the other hand, Newcastle have been struggling since the start of the season as they find themselves 17 on the table.

“We have a good team with spirit that is good enough to compete”.

“If he gives his all and he does get the move, I don’t think he will be begrudged for that”.

Newcastle will be without Rolando Aarons (ankle) and Jack Colback (knee), as well as long-term absentees Tim Krul (knee) and Steven Taylor (hamstring), but McClaren could have Gabriel Obertan (hamstring) and Rob Elliot (thigh) available for selection following their recovery from injury.

“Promotion to the Premier League is the highlight of my career”.

The 28-year-old has helped the Foxes to third in the table by scoring 12 goals this season, and has found the net in their last nine Premier League games. They are in the relegation zone and honestly, everything has gone wrong.
