Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers believes he is getting the best out of Jamie Vardy by limiting his defensive workload.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Vardy is the Premier League’s top scorer this season on 10 goals.<\/li>\n
  • He’s the first player to reach double figures.<\/li>\n
  • Vardy has been ever-present under Rodgers having played every game (11 matches) since the Northern Irishman took charge.<\/li>\n
  • Rodgers says Vardy no longer pressing the whole back four is getting the best out of him.<\/li>\n
  • Leicester face Arsenal at home on matchday 12 as they look to boost their top-four credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    He was on the scoresheet in their 2-0 win at Crystal Palace a week after bagging three goals against Southampton as Leicester ran out emphatic 9-0 winners on the road.<\/p>\n

    Since establishing himself at the East Midlands-based club, Vardy has become known for more than his goalscoring.<\/p>\n

    A footballer in continuous motion, Vardy enjoys closing down opposition defenders, which is central to the Foxes’ pressing game under Rodgers.<\/p>\n

    The former Liverpool and Celtic manager, though, says the ex-England international now conserves more energy after he made slight adjustments to how Leicester operate under him.<\/p>\n
