Ange Postecoglou hoping for more James Maddison ‘moments’ against Leicester

Ange Postecoglou will hope to see Tottenham vice-captain James Maddison step up again with more “moments” in Sunday’s crucial Premier League fixture with ex-club Leicester.

Spurs were without 14 players for Thursday’s trip to Hoffenheim due to a combination of injuries and ineligibility, but Maddison scored and set up Son Heung-min to help inspire a much-needed 3-2 away win.

Tottenham’s injury crisis has seen them drop to 15th in the Premier League – amid a run of five defeats from their last six fixtures in the division – and yet under-pressure boss Postecoglou has guided them into the Carabao Cup semi-finals and guaranteed a Europa League knock-out berth.
