Leicester ace Vardy returns to club action at the new-look Anfield on Saturday and team-mate King has warned Jurgen Klopp’s men to beware. The midfielder, 27, said: “He didn’t play for England so I’m sure he will be chomping at the bit. Hopefully, he will be fresh for the weekend.”

Vardy who scored a cracker against Liverpool last season, could be partnered in attack with Islam Slimani, a £29million club-record signing from Sporting Lisbon.

And ahead of the first game in front of Liverpool’s new Main Stand, King added: “He can take some of the pressure off Vards. We’ve seen his record in Portugal so hopefully he can be a big signing for us.

“Winning at Anfield would be a real statement. We don’t want to fall too far behind the leaders.

“After last season it was always going to be hard. But now we have our first win, we can hopefully get up and running.

“It will be tough but we know that if we play the way we can, we can be a match for anyone.”
