Only Andy Cole and Thierry Henry have scored more goals in the Premier League against Liverpool than Vardy, who currently has seven goals to his name.
Jamie Vardy may be a "fantastic striker", but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp can not explain why the Leicester star has such a good record against his team.
Vardy, 32, scored seven of Foxes' last ten goals against Liverpool, and all of his goals were scored in just eight appearances.
Vardy's turned out to be a pet peeve for Liverpool
The former English international, suspended for the Reds' 2-1 win at King Power Stadium in September, has scored in each of his last five games and is one of seven players to have scored seven times against Anfield's club in the Premier League; only Andrew Cole (11) and Thierry Henry (eight) scored more times.
But the former international international has not only booked his best form in Liverpool since he has scored 13 goals in 16 previous matches against the big six.
"Jamie is a fantastic striker. It's the quality, the speed that he has, the finishing skills he has, "said Klopp.
"It's a huge threat and it has always been, but sometimes we've made it easier for him.

"Lucas Leiva, did he get help? I could have scored that goal (when Lucas pbaded Vardy eight meters in front of an empty goal).
"I do not know exactly why Jamie has such a good record against us, but I would say less a goal because it's the only one he should not have scored. He is a very good player and that's why he's so threatening. "
Despite the threat of Vardy, Liverpool has won the last three league games against Leicester.
But Klopp takes nothing for granted as he tries to keep his team safe from the clutches of Manchester City, who are four points behind Liverpool in Newcastle's defeat on Tuesday.
"They like to play against the best sides. They do not constitute a counterattack as they were in the past, but they pose a huge threat, "added the boss.
"We are expecting a very dangerous opponent. They have quality, it's a great team. I imagine that they are not happy with the situation. Where are they, 11th?
One of Vardy's most famous goals was scored against Liverpool in the season that won the title at Leicester.
"A few years ago, it would have been an excellent position for Leicester, but not after winning the league and playing in the Champions League, investing a lot of money in the team.
"I'm really happy that it's a Wednesday night game because I hope our supporters feel the need for real support.
"It's been 10 days since we played at home. We are really looking forward to it, but it will not be easy because the last match (4-3 win over Crystal Palace) was not easy.
"It's about getting everybody out so we can play well enough to win the game."
