π—˜π—«π—–π—Ÿπ—¨π—¦π—œπ—©π—˜: The majority of Premier League clubs want to introduce a hard spending cap β€” and the motion will be voted on Monday.

The cap would allow clubs to only spend five times the commercial and broadcast revenue of the lowest team in the division.

Leicester City are expected to hold talks with Jamie Vardy over a new contract if and when promotion to the Premier League is confirmed.

Leicester City need just one more win to return to the Premier League.

It may be the Enzo Maresca era, but with just 34% possession and Jamie Vardy on the scoresheet, the 5-0 win against Southampton had shades of Claudio Ranieri’s tenure.

I wrote this piece a few weeks ago, using data to see which teams profile most similarly to .

Encouragingly, Arne Slot's Feyenoord were among the top five on the list!

High-energy, high-possession, direct attacking football.

There are permutations of what could happen if their rivals slip up this weekend, before 's trip to Preston on Monday.

But there should be just one thought on the players' minds

Just one more win...

12 more years, they sang last night as Vardy again led the line for as they edged closer to promotion.

Well, they might get one at least 🐐

Vardy has no intention of retiring and talks expected over a new contract, if and when the job is done.

Standing ovation for Fatawu. As you would expect after that performance. McAteer comes on and Coady is on for Vestergaard

GOAL 5-0 and a sweeping counter attack and Vardy returns the favour to Fatawu for his hat-trick. Whisper it quietly, but are really a counter-attacking team?

And breath. GOAL 4-0 and it is Jamie Vardy, who else, to cap a great evening for Fatawu with the assist after a great passing move.

GOAL 3-0 and it is another stunner from Fatawu. Saints knew what he was going to do when he picked the ball up on the corner of the box but there was no stopping him. A trademark finish.

GOAL 2-0 and it's Ndidi who gives some breathing space with a perfectly timed run into the box and a superb cross from Mavididi.

are getting into some good positions now after a slow start to the half but they are lacking composure, snatching at shots and poor final balls.

HT 1-0. deservedly ahead. They have been sloppy at times in possession, working hard to win it back only to give it back again, and Saints have had 63% possession, but have yet to have an attempt on goal. A huge 45 to come.
