Vardy scored his fifth goal in as many league games during a 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday, while James Maddison climbed into runner-up spot after creating a match-topping five chances at the King Power Stadium.

Wes Morgan (No 6) scored in his second successive game, while Wilfred Ndidi (No 7) maintained his ascent up the chart with 11 tackles and match-high stats for duels, clearances and interceptions.

Liverpool reclaimed top spot after a 2-1 win against Tottenham, courtesy of Toby Alderweireld's stoppage-time own goal, with Roberto Firmino (No 3) initially breaking the deadlock - while Sadio Mane slipped into No 4 spot.

Manchester City temporarily leapfrogged the Reds after a convincing 2-0 victory at Fulham, with Bernardo Silva scoring within five minutes of kick-off and team-mate Raheem Sterling (no 9) retaining his place among the top performers.
