Leicester City have formed the story of the season so far by rising to third place in the table, leaving their players with plenty of praise. And James Maddison has been at the heart of a Leicester side looking to make a return to the Champions League.

The former Norwich man has formed a formidable partnership in midfield with both Wilfred Ndidi and Youri Tielemans this season which may see one of the three pick up the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

But, its Maddison, in particular, that has impressed the most in the Leicester midfield this season, scoring 9 goals and assisting a further 3 for the Foxes so far. And its been in the important games where Maddison has made the biggest impact with goals against Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal and an assist against Chelsea highlighting the fact that the Leicester man is a big game player.

This could see Maddison become the first Leicester player to win the PFA Young Player of the Year award in the Foxes' 136-year history.
