Leicester City are set to play out one of the biggest games of their season so far on Thursday evening.
Leicester City face West Ham United at the London Stadium in a Premier League meeting later today.
The Foxes go into the match looking for what would be just their second victory in 12 league matches.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side lost to Brentford last time out, seeing them drop five points away from safety.
However, Wolverhampton Wanderers were beaten by Fulham earlier this week, meaning that gap could be reduced to two points if Leicester come out on top against the Hammers.
But the Foxes are predicted to lose to West Ham, which is not surprising given their current form.
If there is one man who can change their fortunes though, it is legendary striker, Jamie Vardy.
Graham Potter makes Jamie Vardy claim ahead of West Ham vs Leicester City
Vardy is now 38 and in the final six months of his contract at the King Power Stadium.
But he still has seven goals in the Premier League this term and was one of the few bright sparks in the Brentford hammering.
Now, as per Leicestershire Live, West Ham manager Graham Potter has been discussing Vardy after the number nine was compared to Jarrod Bowen who also got his start in non-league.
He said: “I don’t think it’s fair to either of the players to compare them – Jamie Vardy is unique. He’s the best Jamie Vardy there is. Absolutely fantastic in terms of what he has achieved.
“His goalscoring record, winning the Premier League, winning the FA Cup, an unbelievable story from non-league to winning the Premier League.
“But Jarrod is Jarrod and he’s the best at being him. He’s our captain. A wonderful player. Probably not the same goalscorer as Jamie.”
Graham Potter on becoming Leicester City manager
Prior to Van Nistelrooy’s appointment in late November, Potter was linked to Leicester as a replacement for Steve Cooper.
That obviously did not happen and the previously out-of-work boss has since taken up a role in East London.
When quizzed on his links to the Foxes, Potter said: “I’m in a position now at a club that I’m really happy with. I’m not going to confirm or deny any of the rumours that were there, because there were too many.
“The only thing I can say is Leicester City is a great club with a great history, certainly recent history. I have full respect for them, but I’m delighted to be with West Ham.
“I said from the first day it was about the right opportunity and for different reasons this opportunity felt the right one.
“I’m delighted that I made that decision, and anything else is just part of the process to end up here.”
