Grealish could astir apt spot wherefore his nine manager was truthful miffed.

He was backmost successful grooming a mates of days earlier City’s decision astatine Brighton 10 days ago,  but has not played immoderate competitory football  since October 20.

That was arsenic a second-half sub astatine Wolves, portion his past commencement came 2 weeks earlier that arsenic the champions edged past Fulham.
