Jack Grealish has scored just once since his £100m move to Man City and is lacking penetration in the final third... the England star has cut a frustrated figure but after destroying Liverpool last year, can his season finally ignite an Anfield?

It was the game that earned Jack Grealish a ticket to the big time. It's not every day a team like Aston Villa puts seven past a team like Liverpool, and their club captain was integral to that memorable 7-2 romp last season.

Grealish will have perked up the heads of every major club in the Premier League after being involved in five of those goals - the first time any player has achieved such a feat against the Reds.

In a mesmerising display, he notched two goals and three assists to stun the Premier League champions and leave Aston Villa sweating over the future of their in-demand playmaker - it was clear this midfielder was destined for super-stardom.
