5 players to watch in the Premier League this weekend

#5 James Maddison (Leicester City)

Maddison has made a fine start to the season

Leicester City are one of the most watchable teams in the Premier League at the moment. The Foxes are playing some superb football, and look like serious contenders to secure Champions League football at the end of the season.

One of the players who has impressed most for Brendan Rodgers’ side this season has been attacking midfielder James Maddison, but all eyes will be on him for different reasons when they host Burnley this weekend.

The 22-year-old was called up to the England squad to play Czech Republic and Bulgaria, but later pulled out due to illness. There was controversy though, as on the night of the Czech Republic game, Maddison was pictured in a casino.

There have been a number of questions asked over Maddison’s attitude and conduct off the pitch, even before this incident, and he will hope to silence those critics with his performance on the pitch.
