- ePremier League invitational returns for second event- James Maddison to represent Leicester City in the FIFA 20 knockout competition- He’ll take on Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson in Round 1 on Thursday (2pm)- The action will be shown live around the world, including LCFC social channels

A thrilling first instalment of the competition saw Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Diogo Jota crowned the winner, beating Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in a dramatic final courtesy of a Golden Goal.

Wilfred Ndidi represented the Foxes on that occasion, losing out to eventual winner Jota, but now it’s Maddison’s turn as Premier League clubs will once again go head-to-head in a knockout competition on PlayStation 4.

Among the players joining Maddison to take part are Phil Foden (Manchester City), Billy Gilmour (Chelsea), John Egan (Sheffield United), Ryan Sessegnon (Tottenham Hotspur) and Callum Wilson (Bournemouth). The draw was revealed at 9am on Monday, with matches streamed live four times per day from 3pm on Tuesday, ahead of the semi-final and final from 5pm on Saturday 9 May.

Jota, who scored 19 goals in four games on his way to winning the last ePL Invitational, said: “I think it is a good tournament for everyone, with good causes involved and also the fans getting involved. At this time, we need to find ways to help communities and also try to keep the fans entertained, giving them something to watch while they are at home.

“It was good for us players to get some competition as well – I think I was more nervous playing FIFA than when I play real football! Of course, being the champion made it even better.”

Alexander-Arnold said: “It’s good that these kinds of events are going on so people can tune in and feel like a part of something together, and feel like a part of their team. The main thing is that people are staying safe and staying at home.”

Fans can follow the action on Leicester City’s social channels, the Sky Sports YouTube and Twitch channels, BBC Sport website and iPlayer, as well as on Premier League digital channels. Finals Day will also be shown on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event, with the tournament once again being televised around the world by the Premier League’s international broadcast partners.
