Vardy is on a run of starts for Cremonese and will be expected to lead the line for his new side when they host Roma on Sunday.

Former City boss Ranieri will not be in the dugout for the visitors - he is a part of Roma's leadership team, working as a senior adviser to Roma’s owner, the Friedkin Group.

Cremonese go into the game on the back of two straight defeats, but still in a respectable 11th in the table as they seek to stay up following promotion last season.
