If James Maddison had any doubts about the level of expectation that now rests on his shoulders at Leicester, the response when he arrived as a second-half substitute would have removed them.
The Foxes playmaker had not featured since before the World Cup break due to knee trouble and without him, Leicester had slipped to four consecutive defeats.
So when Maddison replaced Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall after 69 minutes, the reaction was telling. The roar from the home crowd was as loud as it had been for either of Leicester’s goals, from Marc Albrighton and Harvey Barnes.
