‘VINGS’ SECOND AMONG DEADLY DOUBLES

VOKES and Ings may be deadly – but they aren’t the only strike pair filling their boots this season. Here are England’s most fearsome duos…

1. LIVERPOOL

Luis Suarez ....................23 Daniel Sturridge ............16 Total:................................39 England’s deadliest pair have racked up 39 in the league and are currently first and second in the Premier League scoring charts. Come the summer, they’ll be facing off in the colours of England and Uruguay.

2. BURNLEY

Danny Ings......................19 Sam Vokes......................15 Total:................................34 The classic big man, little man, ‘Vings’ wouldn’t even have been paired together had last season’s top scorer Charlie Austin not joined QPR on the eve of the season. Now they are both on the radar of Premier League sides.

3. COVENTRY

Leon Clarke ....................15 Callum Wilson ................14 Total:................................29 Docked ten points at the start of the season, Coventry have hauled themselves into playoff contention through the efforts of youngster Wilson and journeyman Clarke – although the latter has since joined Wolves.

4. PETERBOROUGH

Britt Assombalonga ......16 Nicky Ajose ....................11 Total:................................27 One was watched by Arsenal, the other on the books at Man United. Now Assombalonga – Peterborough’s record signing – and Ajose are showing why with goals galore.

5. LEYTON ORIENT

David Mooney ................15 Kevin Lisbie ....................12 Total:................................27 Like Burnley, nothing was expected of Orient in August, but the skilful link-play of Mooney and the bustling hold-up play of veteran Lisbie is firing a tilt at automatic promotion.
