CITY REPORTER JOSH HOLLAND ANALYSES THE STALEMATE IN THE M69 DERBY

Mavididi surely has to come up with some end product as Monga pushes him for start

Watching live, it felt like he had messed up a great opportunity, but watching the replays, maybe that was a harsh assessment and he didn't really do much wrong.

The time and space he had allowed him to let the ball run across his body and use his right foot to direct it towards goal, but it was too close to the keeper, who kept it out with his outstretched left leg.

The frustration in seeing their team pass up opportunities resulted in the Foxes faithful chanting Jeremy Monga's name and, three minutes after the Mavididi chance, the 17-year-old came on in his place.

Once again, he looked a threat and got fans off their seats after a brilliant piece of skill to beat Tatsuhiro Sakamoto.

In the last Championship season, under Enzo Maresca, Mavididi was in a similar situation.

He started games hot and cold, and questions were asked about his position in the squad.

He once went nine games without a goal contribution with no proper competition.
