Premier League rules, of course, prevented the in-form midfielder from facing his parent club. ‌Grealish has been in sparkling form since since signing for Everton on loan from City, where he won a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble in 2023 amid a host of other honours after making a £100m move from Aston Villa. And, ahead of that match, Paul Lambert, who gave Grealish his Aston Villa debut when he was 18, away to Man City in May 2014, has been speaking about the Everton No.18. ‌"When I had Jack at Villa, he was only a kid," said the former Villa, Wolves, Norwich City and Ipswich Town manager. I think Everton are getting the rewards from it because the way he is playing seems more focused.
