Jack Grealish could do something for the first time in Everton vs Aston Villa
Jack Grealish will be the main attraction when Everton face Aston Villa on Saturday.
Grealish has been in stunning form since he joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
Grealish has featured in three Premier League matches and notched four assists, and an England recall has been mooted already.
Grealish has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award, and he will look to celebrate that nomination against his former club at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Jack Grealish could achieve career first in England vs Aston Villa
Everton star Grealish has already made his feelings on facing Villa clear; it will no doubt be an emotional occasion for him.
In four previous appearances against the Villans, he has failed to score or assist, despite being on the winning team three times.
If he notches a goal or assist, it will be the first time that he has ever done so against his boyhood club since leaving them in 2021.
Jack Grealish could make Premier League history vs Aston Villa
While he could tick off a career milestone by scoring or assisting against his former club, there is a lot more at stake for the 30-year-old.
He could become the first player to register two assists in three consecutive games if he can repeat his exploits from the Brighton and Wolves victories and bag another two against his ex-team.
- Grealish notched two assists in the win over Brighton
- He got another two in the dramatic win against Wolves
- That is one away from his whole tally from last season
His return to form with Everton has been brilliant to see for football lovers, and the hope will be that he continues with his exploits and extends his former club’s miserable start to the season.
Unai Emery’s side have failed to win, opening their campaign with a 0-0 draw with Newcastle, a 1-0 loss to Brentford and a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
He will probably not celebrate if he gets on the scoresheet, but he will hope to get the win for his side and continue their great start to the campaign.
