Interestingly, Vardy and Mahrez have only made one pass to each other since the end of September. The pair have looked far from their best in the league, with both struggling to carve up defences as they did last season. Mahrez in particular has struggled under the intense pressure he's faced against sides who have often stuck more than one player on him in a bid to keep the Algerian quiet. As for Vardy, the 29-year-old simply hasn't rediscovered the sort of form which saw him net 24 goals throughout the 2015/16 season.
