Jamie Vardy is pushing for a Leicester recall for Nottingham Forest clash on Monday night despite failing to score so far this season as pressure continues to mount on Brendan Rodgers

Jamie Vardy is pushing for a recall to the Leicester team for Monday's huge derby against Nottingham Forest.

Leicester's all-time top scorer of the Premier League era has yet to find the net this term and started each of the last two games on the bench, with Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho preferred.

Yet with the Foxes at home in such a decisive game, Vardy is a strong contender to return to the starting XI - especially against a Forest defence that is nearly as porous as Leicester's.

Steve Cooper's men have let in 17 in the league this term and Brendan Rodgers' side 22 - leaving both managers under pressure.
