Leicester City s outstanding performers: Jamie Vardy, N Kolo Kante, Riyad Mahrez.
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy looks on course on to join Arsenal this summer in a deal worth around £29M, and there are growing fears his sale could spark a domino effect with a number of other coveted players.
City manager Claudio Ranieri had been desperate to retain the key players from last season’s shock Premier League title triumph, but might struggle to convince Vardy’s teammates to stay if their talisman has sought greener pastures.
Players non-committal due to Leicester’s glass ceiling
Leicester City have had to deal with speculation in the last few months of the 2015/16 Premier League season, but their worst fears are becoming realised with Vardy all bu…
Andros Townsend (Crystal Palace) v Manchester City – December 22, 2018
City do not concede many and they lose even less frequently. Townsend s ferocious effort in December helped Palace to an unlikely 3-2 win at the Etihad Stadium. The champions cleared a corner, but Bernardo Silva s header went as far as Townsend, whose sweetly struck volley flew into the top-right corner with remarkable power from at least 25 yards.
Daniel Zsori (Debrecen) v Ferencvaros – February 16, 2019
Eighteen-year-old Zsori announced himself to Hungarian football in astonishing fashion in February. On his league debut, the attacker met a cross from deep with an overhead-kick just inside the area, picking out the top-far corner in stoppage time to secure a 2-1.

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has hinted he may quit Upton Park in the aftermath of Saturday s 1-0 defeat to Stoke.
Only goal difference is keeping Zola s side above the Premier League relegation zone following the east London club s sixth successive defeat.
The Italian, who was strongly criticised by Hammers co-owner David Sullivan after the midweek loss to Wolves, could be ready to walk away as the pressure starts to take its toll.
Asked whether he would consider resigning, Zola said: I have to find out what the problem is. If the problem is me then why not?
The players are trying hard for us. The bottom line is to see whether I can help them or not. I will consider overnight whether I am doing a good job or not.

Manchester United’s absentee-hit defence will be without Raphael Varane for the next few weeks due to a muscle injury.
A disappointing second season for the Red Devils under Erik ten Hag has been punctuated by a variety of fitness issues, with the backline hit particularly hard.
United have been without an out-and-out left-back for much of the season due to injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, while their problems at centre-back are now stacking up.
A fitness update on and Jonny Evans.

The pair will be absent …
Graham Potter has been confirmed as the new head coach of Chelsea, succeeding Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel was surprisingly dismissed as Chelsea boss on Wednesday, just a day on from the Blues disappointing 1-0 setback at Dinamo Zagreb to begin their Champions League campaign.
It followed an indifferent start to the Premier League season, which saw Chelsea take 10 points from a possible 18 after a bold spending spree in the transfer window under new owner Todd Boehly.
Brighton and Hove Albion boss Potter quickly became the frontrunner to replace Tuchel and Chelsea have acted upon a reported £16million release clause in his contract to bring the 47-year-old to Stamford Bridge.
We are thrilled to bring Graham to Chelsea. He is a proven coach and an innovator in…
The Dallas Cowboys hit the road for the first time since mid-September when they visit the New England Patriots in Week 6.
With Dallas at 4-1, and that lone loss coming against the defending Super Bowl champs, the NFL betting odds opened as low as Cowboys -3 and were bombarded with action on the road team, moving this spread as high as -4.5. New England captured its second win of the season in Houston last Sunday but needed to dig itself out of a 22-9 second-half hole to do so.
