Best Forward Duos Europe
Do Ronaldo-Benzema and Messi-Suarez both make the cut?

#4 Jamie Vardy & Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League
Jamie Vardy (L) and Riyad Mahrez

It's been two full seasons now since Leicester City beat 5000/1 odds to lift the Premier League title. It was a once-in-a-lifetime win and The Foxes are no longer a potent threat in the title race even though Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez continue to shine.

Although not as consistent and prolific as the 2015/16 season (41 goals), they have still managed to score 32 goals between them in the league this season. And they were let down by a defence that conceded more goals than they scored, leading to a ninth-placed finish.

But take nothing away from Vardy who played 37 games this season for 20 goals. The English striker has not shown any signs of slowing down despite being on the wrong side of 31.

And he, too, has been assisted 7 times by Mahrez - the highest in the league this season. Some of Vardy's goals have bordered on the ridiculous and the sublime with Mahrez finding his partner a number of times this season.
