Preview
As Vardy sits in the stands, regretting a theatrical fall against West Ham, a Leicester City player could steal the England striker's thunder as the King Power Stadium waits to erupt with another win at home.
Thankfully for Claudio Ranieri's men, the visitors are Swansea City, who have little to play for in the grand scheme of league positions.
The Foxes will look towards Riyad Mahrez to drag their hopes across the line, after a breakout season from the wondrous midfield talent.
Mahrez has a clear shot at winning PFA Player of the Year this term, and his numbers speak for themselves.
The Algerian has 16 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League this season, according toย WhoScored.com, and his contribution to Leicester's success is on par with Vardy's.
Sports correspondent Tom Williams highlighted the trickery and guile of the flair player:
The winger is expected to partnerย Leonardo Ulloa in attack in Vardy'sย absence, and the big striker proved he has theย stomach for the big occasion with a coolly finished penalty in injury-time against the Hammers.
Manchester City look to solidify their place in the top three places,ย guaranteeing UEFA Champions League football for the arrival of new coach Pep Guardiola.
The Sky Blues have edged ahead of Arsenal in recent weeks, with the Gunners witnessing their stock fall with every match.
City welcome Stoke City in the forthcoming week ofย gamesย knowing a victory will see their domestic campaign endย with a flourish before completing their European endeavours.
It has been one of the most entertaining seasons in living memory, as the big clubs in England have collapsed against less-fashionable teams in the division.
Reigning champions Chelsea will be expected to rebuild in the summer, and City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool will all compete once again after a period of introspection and investment.
The time for new champions is now, and Leicester will be hoping Harry Kane and Spurs cannot pull a rabbit out the hat in the final matches as they search for a magical end to their own title hunt.
The Foxes are still within touching distance for the Lilywhites, but Spurs must carry on the charge until the last kick of the season.
