Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has declared that his team will be fully committed to their crucial Premier League match against Manchester City on Tuesday, despite the potential implications for Arsenal’s Champions League hopes.
With both City and Arsenal vying for the league title, Leicester’s victory would boost Arsenal’s chances of finishing in the top four and securing a Champions League berth. However, Maddison insists that Leicester’s focus is solely on their own performance.
“Of course we will be giving everything against Man City on Tuesday,” Maddison said. “We are professionals, and we want to win every game we play.”
Leicester’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League are slim, with Maddison acknowledging that they must win all their remaining matches to have a shot.
“The only way we can qualify for the Champions League is if we win all our games,” he said. “We have a tough run-in, but we believe in ourselves.”
Maddison brushed aside suggestions that Leicester’s result against City could influence Arsenal’s fate.
“Helping Arsenal? That’s one for the fans to talk about, not us players,” he said. “Our focus is on getting three points for Leicester City.”
Leicester have a history of causing upsets against the top teams, and Maddison is confident that they can pull off another surprise against City.
“We know it will be a tough game, but we have a good team and we are confident that we can get a result,” he said. “We just need to stick to our game plan and play with belief.”
