Chris Sutton has given his verdict on Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder James Maddison.
The former Chelsea striker and BBC Sport pundit has also predicted how the Premier League match between Tottenham and Brighton and Hove Albion will pan out.
So, what has Chris Sutton said about Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison? Let’s take a look.
Chris Sutton makes an observation on Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison
Well, Tottenham Hotspur will take on Brighton and Hove Albion at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs are very likely to have James Maddison in the starting lineup. The £40 million (Sky Sports) playmaker is back from injury and is already impressing.
Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has noted that Maddison is starting to find his rhythm and expects him to explode soon.
The BBC Sport pundit has also backed Spurs to beat Brighton in North London.
Sutton told BBC Sport: “Son Heung-min is back, or at least he was due to train with Tottenham on Thursday after South Korea’s Asian Cup exit. If he plays in this game, it will be a huge lift for Spurs.
“Richarlison cannot stop scoring and James Maddison is just starting to find some rhythm with Tottenham too, but the problem I have with predicting this game is I just don’t know which Brighton team is going to turn up.
“Roberto de Zerbi’s side were comfortable winners in the reverse fixture at Amex Stadium earlier in the season but they have been very inconsistent of late.
“Will we see the Seagulls side who lost 4-0 at Luton, or the one that recovered and demolished Crystal Palace a week later?
“I cannot see how this game won’t be high scoring and I am tempted to go for a draw, but I am going to say Spurs will find a way to nick the points and just about stay in the title race.”
My View: James Maddison makes Tottenham better
In my opinion, Tottenham Hotspur are a better team with James Maddison in it.
While Spurs did well during the period when Maddison was on the sidelines due to injury, you can now see that Tottenham are more fluid, more creative and more potent with the former Leicester City playmaker in the starting lineup.
Maddison has scored three goals and given six assists in 13 Premier League matches for Tottenham so far this season.
The 27-year-old England international attacking midfielder has made 176 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. He has scored 46 goals and given 38 assists in those games.
“Sutton’s prediction: 3-2.”
