Simpson: We will win title without Vardy

Danny Simpson felt Jamie Vardy's second yellow card was harsh, but he expects Leicester City to keep its nerve in his absence.

Leicester City fullback Danny Simpson does not expect his side's Premier League title campaign to be derailed by the suspension of star striker Jamie Vardy.

Vardy picked up two bookings in Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham, the second given for a dive in a call that Simpson felt was harsh.

Claudio Ranieri's side saw its lead at the top cut to five points as Tottenham thrashed Stoke City on Monday – the same day Vardy was hit with a Football Association improper conduct charge following his reaction to the dismissal.
