James Maddison

Essential Football is back with a round-up of all the weekend's Premier League matches, featuring reaction, interviews and reporter analysis from up and down the top-flight. PART ONE | Sam Blitz and Joe Shread look back on Arsenal's derby win over Chelsea to take them top of the table, before Erik Ten Hag fumes at Man Utd's performance in their loss to Aston Villa and Harry Kane explains why Spurs' defeat by Liverpool sums up their season. PART TWO | Ralph Hasenhuttl goes on the defensive as his Southampton side slip into the bottom three after a 4-1 hammering by Newcastle, while Marco Silva is left disappointed - but not disheartened - by Fulham's last-minute defeat at Man City. David Moyes is less impressed, though, by his West Ham side as they are deservedly beaten late on by Crystal Palace. PART THREE | Dan Sansom attempts to sum up a seven-goal thriller which Leeds emerged victorious from against Bournemouth on Saturday, while Adam Bate does likewise about Brighton's topsy-turvy 3-2 win at Wolves. Brendan Rodgers makes the case for James Maddison to go to the World Cup - and Nottm Forest rescue a last-minute draw with Brentford. And that's your Premier League Weekend Wrap!

On Clash of the Correspondents this week James is joined by Everton fan Sean Norton and Leicester fan Aaron Lagor to discuss all the latest at their clubs and preview Saturday's evening kick off at Goodison Park. Back to back clean sheets for The Toffees will have FPL managers interested in the likes of Jordan Pickford, Conor Coady and a returning Nathan Patterson but with Leicester and Bournemouth up next could Dominic Calvert-Lewin also be worth investing in? Leicester have improved dramatically since the introduction of Wout Faes, are they now no longer a team to target? Could James Maddison be worth bringing back into FPL teams for trips to Everton and West Ham? And has Aaron changed his stance on Brendan Rodgers having survived what looked near certain dismissal earlier in the campaign? Plus, is Jamie Vardy's time coming to an end, 'Alex Iwobinho', the battle to stay up and lots more...

James is joined for another episode of Clash of the Correspondents and with question marks over the future of both managers representing this weeks Correspondents James made the decision to being the show forward from Thursday to make sure the Podcast didn't date quickly! It's Leicester City fan Aaron Lagor and Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson joining James to discuss all the latest at their clubs and for Lee and Villa things feels a little better following the weekend draw with Champions Manchester City but there is still pressure on Steven Gerrard after a disappointing start to the campaign. While for Aaron's Leicester it seems like the 'inevitable' parting of the ways with Brendan Rodgers is imminent after Sunday's chaotic 5-2 beating at Brighton left The Foxes on 1 point from 6 games. Could he yet somehow turn the situation around? And yet despite concerning form and pressure on the men in charge both clubs are about to come into very attractive fixture lists that could see interest in FPL managers for the likes of James Maddison and Leon Bailey. Plus are The Foxes in financial trouble? Thoughts on Villa's 'strange' deadline day business and lots more...

Suj & James kick off Correspondent Week Friday with Leicester City correspondent Aaron Lagor and there's only one place to start, where's the signings? But with no European distractions and key players like Wesley Fofana fit again Leicester could kick on but doubts remain about the futures of the likes of Youri Tielemans. For FPL managers there are plenty of interesting options; the 4.5 full-backs appeal, midfielders James Maddison (8.0), Harvey Barnes (7.0) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (5.0) should all be considered and Jamie Vardy always starts a season well. Plus, Kasper Schmeichel could be leaving, is Brendan Rodgers under pressure and the importance of The Foxes opening two home games and the brilliant run from Gameweek 9...
