Leicester City star James Maddison has sent a message to Tottenham over the Premier League title race. The Foxes have not been seriously considered as title contenders with talk revolving around reigning champions Liverpool, as well as Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham. But Brendan Rodgers’ men are now top of the league after their 2-0 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night, though they have played a game more than Manchester United and two more than Man City. And quizzed on the fact Leicester haven’t been fancied despite their fine start Maddison had a message for some of his side’s potential title rivals which was summed up in three words: “let them talk”.
James Maddison said “We are not up there by fluke. We are up there because we work hard. Listen, people might talk about the United’s, the Liverpool’s and the Tottenham’s or whatever. But let them talk. We will do our business in the background and come then end of the season, it will hopefully give us a chance to be right up there.”
