Leicester City face fellow out of form strugglers Manchester City on Sunday.
The Foxes lost to Liverpool last time out and as a result are in the bottom three of the Premier League but may have been given the perfect time to face the out of sorts Man City.
Pep Guardiola’s side have one win from their last 13 games and are in serious danger of missing out on a Champions League spot should they not turn things around.
Man City have an incredible record against Leicester but one man the Catalonian will fear more than anyone is Jamie Vardy, who holds a special accolade of his own against a Guardiola side.
Jamie Vardy is the only player to have done one thing twice against Pep Guardiola
There’s no denying the talents of the Leicester legend.
Erling Haaland admitted to watching clips of Vardy when trying to improve his own game and it’s fair to say the 37-year-old has caused Guardiola plenty of problems.
Sensationally, Vardy is the only player to have scored a hat-trick in more than one game against a Guardiola side.
His first game in the former Barcelona boss’ first season in charge of Man City as the Foxes won 4-2 in 2016.
Vardy’s second hat trick was behind closed doors in 2020 when Brendan Rodgers’ side tore apart the Citizens, winning 5-2.
On that day, Vardy scored a cheeky heel-flick in a game that saw the hosts exposed like he had never been before.
Jamie Vardy’s record against Man City is good omen for Leicester
Man City will also be hoping that Vardy won’t be able to replicate previous memories against them given his incredible goalscoring record.
In 20 appearances in all competitions, Vardy has scored nine times and assisted one against City.
