Liverpool fans want Jurgen Klopp to launch a January transfer bid for Leicester striker Jamie Vardy - with the striker’s red-hot form leading the Foxes’ charge as title opposition as they thrashed Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool opened up a 14-point gap on defending top-flight champions Manchester City on Saturday. It was expected City and Liverpool would once again duke it out for the championship in 2019-20. But Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester are rapidly emerging as the biggest threat to Liverpool's hopes of a first league crown in 30 years. Leicester - shock league winners under Claudio Ranieri in 2015-16 - are now six points clear of third-placed City.
