James Maddison is desperate to be the main man for Leicester and England after an interrupted eight months due to injury and the Covid-19 pandemic... now fully fit the playmaker wants 'people talking about me again'

James Maddison's football-mad family will be glued to their screens when the Premier League leaders take on the champions on Sunday night. There is just one problem: the Leicester star’s mother, Una, is a Liverpool fan.

Maddison’s parents were at Anfield for this fixture last season, when their son scored the equaliser but Liverpool claimed a 2-1 victory with a controversial stoppage-time penalty.

‘She’ll be watching the game closely and I’ll be making sure that she’s supporting Leicester and not Liverpool,’ smiles Maddison, as he speaks to Sportsmail over Zoom from Leicester’s Belvoir Drive training ground.
