Former Leicester City striker Emile Heskey believes a return to the Foxes starting line-up for Jamie Vardy could help begin to turnaround their alarming form ahead of their clash with Leeds United.
Leeds United travel to the King Power Stadium on Thursday evening to face a Leicester side who sit bottom of the Premier League table after 10 games, having one just one of their fixtures this season.
Brendan Rodgers side have been misfiring up front, with legendary Foxes forward Jamie Vardy having yet to find the back of the net this term.

Patson Daka has started their last two games ahead of the Leicester talisman, and managed to score against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.
But with the Foxes needing a result against Leeds, they could opt to put their faith in Vardy, who Heskey believes should return to their starting line-up.
"Jamie Vardy has been a great servant up front for Leicester City and he is missed when he is not playing because he gives you so much energy," Heskey told gambling.com.
"He presses from the front and he's the one that gives you an outlet as a defender or midfield because of the runs that he makes. Patson Daka is learning from watching Jamie Vardy, seeing the runs that he is making and he's asking himself how can I involve that in my game. Daka has got a finish in him, you saw that in his flicked goal against Nottingham Forest recently. He's always getting in the box, so it's all about the other side of his game now like holding the ball up.
"I don't see why you wouldn't stick with Vardy up front at the moment. But, there are options isn't there? You can play one striker one week and the other one the next week to keep them both on their toes. I played until 38, so I know it's very tough to play in the Premier League at around that age, so there's no reason you can't rotate the two."
