Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has backed Jamie Vardy to rediscover his form as the striker looks to continue his hot streak against Arsenal.
Former England international Vardy has five goals in his last four games against the Gunners and 11 in 13 overall but has struggled since the start of the year.
He has netted just once in his last 11 outings after drawing another blank in Thursday’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Slavia Prague as the Foxes crashed out of the Europa League.
Vardy, who had groin surgery in January, scored the winner in the Foxes’ 1-0 victory at the Emirates in October and Rodgers expects him to step up ahead of Sunday’s game at the King Power Stadium.
“I always get 100 per cent from Jamie,’ he said, with the Foxes third in the Premier League going into the weekend. ‘He is mentally strong and even when he is not in the game as such he’s always ready for opportunities which come along.” Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.
James Maddison’s hip injury starves Vardy of one of his main providers and Rodgers admitted the midfielder’s problem is a frustration.
