    Jamie Vardy will be able to bow out at the King Power Stadium with the Leicester City striker suffering only from cramp at the end of the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Vardy had been seen limping in added time at the City Ground, but manager Ruud van Nistelrooy alleviated fears that he could be denied a farewell appearance at the King Power Stadium. This Sunday’s game against Ipswich will be Vardy’s 500th for City and his final for the club at the home ground.

    Potential Leicester City managerial candidate Russell Martin says his style of play needs to be appreciated by the owners and the fanbase of the next club he joins. City have been linked to the former Southampton boss with Ruud van Nistelrooy’s future in doubt ahead of the club’s return to the Championship. Martin earned promotion with the Saints last season but was sacked in December with the club bottom of the table, a position where they’ve remained.

    Leicester City can’t play well now without it being a problem. Even if they were to produce the perfect performance, it would be an issue. Any qualities they show – especially those like fight, passion, resilience – will be scrutinised. It leaves fans slightly irritated, and asking why it's the case. Why couldn’t they show those characteristics months ago? Why have they suffered a dismal relegation when this is what they’re capable of?

    Leicester City have proven what they can offer Jeremy Monga and Ruud van Nistelrooy hopes he’ll respond by pledging his commitment to the club. Monga made his fifth senior outing as a substitute in City’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Sunday and went close to a “fairytale” winner in added time, his shot saved by Matz Sels. The 15-year-old winger’s obvious talent has attracted interest far and wide with Manchester City thought to be the frontrunners to sign him.

    Ruud van Nistelrooy said he “can’t thank the players enough” for buying into his change of narrative that has helped Leicester City begin to move on from their “painful” relegation. City claimed one of their best results of their season in fighting back to draw at Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon. Since placing the focus on next term, City have produced decent performances in four of their five matches and claimed five points.

There was criticism directed Alves’s way following Cardiff’s relegation. Was it justified or did he just get caught in the crossfire? Thanks to @GlenWilliams12 for insight on the final few weeks of Alves’s loan and where he can improve next season. #LCFC https://t.co/hAi3hQamz8

Reflections on Saturday’s win, focusing on the discontent in the stands (and the timing of it), and on van Nistelrooy’s team selection and the lack of incentive to “shape the future”. #LCFC https://t.co/vYRe6p2WdD
