Jamie Vardy's goalscoring heroics can't solve Leicester's problems in defence - injuries to Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans and James Justin are big problems for Brendan Rodgers

Jamie Vardy has achieved just about everything during his remarkable Leicester career but not even the greatest player in the club’s history can solve their problems at the back.

When a striker is in form like this, the team can usually cash in. Yet Leicester are in such a muddle in defence that both Legia Warsaw in the Europa League on Thursday, and Crystal Palace on Sunday will fancy their chances — regardless of how well Vardy is playing.

The Foxes have kept only one clean sheet in their last 12 league matches and conceded nine shots to Sean Dyche’s team.
