Maddison and Vardy scored in the last eight minutes of the clash to ensure a return to winning ways in the league.
This was just their 8th win this season leaving them in 12th place with 30 points.
However, Leicester has been picking up form recently having won 3 of their last 5 matches across competitions.
On the other hand, Leeds United lost 4-0 at home to Spurs in their previous Premier League clash, which saw Marcelo Bielsa get axed from his position as manager.
Ex-Leipzig boss, Jesse Marsch takes over from the Argentine and is hopeful to lead Leeds away from the drop zone, as they stand in 16th place.

Leeds United has been in poor form with 4 losses on the spin from their last 5 matches in the Premier League.
It’s going to be a tough ask for Jesse Marsch to implement his ways quickly due to the quick recovery from the recent defeat.
Both sides last met in November, where Leeds drew 1-1 at home. Raphinha and Barnes scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils.
