Maddison, who opened his side’s goal got 36 per cent, with Youri Tielemans garnering 31 per cent and Marc Albrighton on 19 per cent.
It would be recalled that Ndidi was voted Man of the Match when Leicester beat Tottenham Hotspur last month.
He had been out since September after sustaining an injury when Leicester took on Burnley.
