Liverpool Given Unexpected Boost by Jamie Vardy Ahead of September Trip to King Power Stadium

Liverpool have been handed a major boost for their game against Leicester City next month, with Jamie Vardy likely to be suspended for the match.

Vardy was sent off during Leicester’s 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, leaving him unlikely to feature when the sides meet in a fortnight's time.

The Leicester striker was penalised by referee Mike Dean after a high challenge on Matt Doherty and will now miss the Foxes’ next three games, including their home game against Liverpool on September 1.

Vardy has a fantastic record against Jurgen Klopp’s side, having scored seven goals in his last five games against the Reds.
