Vardy has scored in nine consecutive Premier League matches for the Foxes this season - he is the current leading scorer in the top-flight, with 12 goals in total - and can match Van Nistelrooy's streak of 10 in a row at Manchester United with a goal against the Magpies.
And, instead of despairing over the prospect of having to share his record, the former Netherlands international has wished the 28-year-old luck ahead of the match at St James' Park.
Van Nistelrooy wrote on Instagram: "Records are there to be broken... Go on @Vardy7, all the best and good luck!"
Ironically, the Dutchman set his own record at Newcastle's home ground, and accompanied the status with a picture of him celebrating his milestone goal.
