James Maddison is predicting a “really exciting” year ahead for Leicester City as they prepare for the new season. The 2020-21 campaign is due to get underway next month and the Foxes discovered their Premier League fixture list on Thursday morning. Brendan Rodgers’ men will kick off their campaign away to newly-promoted West Bromwich Albion.
James Maddison said “Fixture release day is one of the highlights of the season for me, It gives the whole squad a real buzz and you can feel the excitement ahead of the first game. We’re in for another really exciting year as a club, especially with European football coming back to King Power Stadium, so we’re all keen to build on our achievements last season and give our supporters plenty to cheer about in 2020-21. Obviously, things have been a bit different over the past few months with fans not being allowed to attend games, and even though it’ll remain that way for the start, we still know they’re right behind us every game, cheering us on from home and sending us good luck messages on social media, We’ll need their fantastic support again this season, especially on the opening day when we play West Brom. They’ve just been promoted and will have that momentum with them, so it should make for a good game and I know the lads are determined to get off to a positive start and keep improving.”
