Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is full of praise for Jamie Vardy.

Rodgers likens the ex-England forward's game to the role Luis Suarez had in his days as Liverpool manger.

"People sometimes ask me: 'Why don't you play with two strikers?'," said Rodgers. "Jamie's playing consistently at a high level.

"And for me, it's like having two players up there because of his work and his threat.

"When you have Jamie and Luis Suarez, who I had at Liverpool, it is like having two.

"I mentioned Luis because he played as a single striker for me as well, they're so good that they can occupy defenders on their own.

"They offer such a threat. It's a huge testament to Jamie, how he's looking after his body, how he prepares, he never misses one day's training.

"He's probably more sensible than he's been before. He's so dangerous."
