Leicester City latest: Big Jamie Vardy contract update, Man City and Newcastle players on radar

The Foxes had a fantastic start to the season and appeared to be the clear favorites to win the Championship, but a run of six losses in a row severely reduced their lead at the top of the standings.

But Leicester, who had defeated West Bromwich Albion the previous Saturday, won their second straight game at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, defeating Southampton 5-0 with overwhelming ease.

The Foxes put on a fantastic display against the Saints, who were still in the running for automatic promotion. Goals from Wilfred Ndidi, Jamie Vardy, and Abdul Fatawu completed the hat-trick, giving Enzo Maresca’s team the victory.

With one more victory, Leicester will have moved up to the top of the table, four points ahead of Leeds United in second position and five ahead of Ipswich Town in third.

Even if the Whites win, Leicester can guarantee their Premier League comeback with a victory at Preston North End on Monday night. The Foxes’ promotion will be assured if Leeds lose at Queens Park Rangers on Friday night.

We have compiled the most recent information from King Power Stadium ahead of what may be a week filled with festivities for the team.
