“Manchester United haven’t been brilliant. It’s not the outcome, it’s the way they are trying to achieve it. It’s very stagnant, there are no smiles on the players’ faces, and Manchester United usually play with width. But if you are not doing that, then it’s not the Manchester United way, for me. I’m not excited about watching them anymore.”

There was a real buzz around the King Power Stadium here in Leicester a couple of hours before kick-off in anticipation of a match that could bring history as well as a pointer to where these two teams are heading.

You would have had to have been in hiding not to know Leicester's Jamie Vardy is going in search of a record 11th consecutive scoring appearance in the Premier League. They were at the Premier League summit at the start of play today and will return there with victory.

And for United, who could go top of the table with a win, it is a chance to answer the charges that they have become a boring, joyless side under the management of Louis van Gaal.

"When you're commentating for Match of the Day all kinds of information gets relayed into your headphones.

"It may be warning of an impending substitution, an early diagnosis of an injury gleaned from a physio, or just that your train home has been cancelled. Often it's news of games of personal interest elsewhere: I get a lot of 'Tranmere are losing' in my headphones.

"Recently, one cry has echoed time and again from the MOTD broadcasting hub in Salford to those of us on gantries around the country: 'Vardy's scored!' calls the disembodied voice.

"Three months since the first goal of his sequence, a penalty at Bournemouth, it feels like fans everywhere (except those of Manchester United) are waiting to hear that same call, and Premier League history being made."

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was asked if he'd consider signing Jamie Vardy. 

"That is not your business, I think.  

"He was already last year a very nasty player for us. He scores, he provoked a penalty and now he is scoring in a row 10 goals so now you are a great player.

"I only know, for example, Dennis Bergkamp as a player with me who did the same with Ajax and that is not so easy."

Football Focus

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy says he has "done it the hard way" having risen from non-league football to a Premier League scoring record.

He was on Football Focus this morning and you can watch some of his interview here.

“I love the whole Jamie Vardy story. He hasn’t come through that cocooned lifestyle that young players have now in academies. He has had to earn his crust and come right up through the ranks and now he is right at the top of his game. 

"I know there are players in the lower leagues, you are always looking for these hidden gems and it’s very rare that you find a player of Jamie’s stature. But I think it’s a great example to anyone that there is still an opportunity in football if you stick at it.”

"Jamie Vardy, first and foremost, works so very hard. From his first game for Leicester in the Premier League he has been outstanding, getting forward and wanting to hurt the opposition. 

"With every run he knows exactly where he wants to go. It's all about sheer hard work and Vardy's movement - he is willing to work hard for his team and he gets results."

The last time Jamie Vardy failed to score in a Premier League game was August. He has the joint record longest Premier League scoring streak with 10 in a row - level with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Can he make it 11 today?

Our colleagues in the East Midlands started a #goodluckvardy campaign on social media, wishing Jamie Vardy well before this game.

Among the people to get involved were his former strike partners at Leicester (David Nugent) and Fleetwood (Andy Mangan) and Steve Claridge.

We'll start with the team news. Jamie Vardy starts, obviously. Leicester make one change with Shinji Okazaki replacing Leonardo Ulloa up front.

Just over four years ago, a promising Fleetwood player called Jamie Vardy scored in his fifth successive Blue Square Bet Premier game, an equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Gateshead.

It was a bit of a rise for the 24-year-old, who had been playing for Stocksbridge Park Steels two years earlier. Life couldn't get any better surely...

Well today the England international, playing for the English title contenders, can break the record of the greatest Premier League scoring streak.
