The enforced break in the football season comes with Leicester's Jamie Vardy stranded one short of 100 Premier League goals.

The striker is on the brink of becoming the 29th player to reach the landmark and here, the PA news agency looks at his goalscoring achievements and how they compare to fellow members of the elite.

Vardy's goals

Vardy looks set to be the 12th-quickest man to 100 Premier League goals.

Alan Shearer set the record, taking just 124 games, with Kane and Aguero the only others to get there in under 150 games – as well as the only current Premier League strikers with 100-plus goals to their name.

Thierry Henry, Ian Wright, Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand, Michael Owen, Andy Cole, Robin Van Persie and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink also got there in 200 games or fewer, with Vardy already just outside that mark but with 13 games in which to beat Romelu Lukaku's 216.

Vardy has scored 18 of the 22 penalties he has taken in the Premier League. Shearer's first century also featured 18 penalties, with only Matt Le Tissier (25), Steven Gerrard (20) and Frank Lampard (19) more reliant on spot-kick prowess as they reached three figures.
