Jamie Vardy is teasing me about supporting Sheffield Wednesday, reveals Harry Maguire ahead of FA Cup reunion with Sheffield United

Harry Maguire has been on the receiving end of Jamie Vardy's teasing this week as Leicester prepare to face his former club Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

The Leicester team-mates both hail from Sheffield and it has emerged that Vardy likes to have a dig at his colleague over the defender's football loyalties.

Both were raised as Wednesday fans but Maguire became more of a United supporter when coming up through the academy at Bramall Lane and then breaking into the senior side.
