Richarlison and James Maddison could be going toe to toe at Wembley this Saturday - and the Brazilian has already thrown down the gauntlet to our number 10.
Both selected for their respective national teams - Brazil and England, the pair will likely be in their nations' squads for this Saturday's international friendly between the two at the national stadium, and Richarlison has already been cheekily stoking the fires ahead of an intriguing fixture.
Recalled by his national side having missed the November internationals as he underwent surgery, Brazil's and our number nine returns to the Selecao having rediscovered his goalscoring form over the winter with nine league goals to his name after going under the knife.
James Maddison meanwhile has also been recalled by the Three Lions after an injury also kept him out of the November internationals but, while Madders will be looking to cement his place in Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad, Richy has already let his fellow Spur know that he is going to make the match as uncomfortable an experience for the midfielder as possible.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the games, Richarlison said: "(On James) Maddison, I've already told him we are going to get him!"
"(we'll) Put some pressure on him. I hope we can have a good game and preferably put some pressure on Maddison!"
