Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri ready to drop misfiring Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri admits he is ready to drop misfiring Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

The pair spearheaded the Foxes' shock Premier League title win last season but have failed to recapture their form for the champions' title defence.

Vardy has failed to score in his last 15 club games - after netting 24 times last season - and reigning PFA Player of the Year Mahrez has just one assist and three league goals to his name this term.

Leicester go to Sunderland, two points above the bottom three, on Saturday having won just once in their last eight league matches and Ranieri is prepared to find a way to win without his two stars.
