Aston Villa boss Sherwood: Grealish won't be fazed today

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is convinced Jack Grealish won't be fazed facing Arsenal in today's FA Cup final.

Sherwood believes the 19-year-old winger can continue with his trickery and lead the Gunners a merry dance.

"Without putting too much pressure on him, he's coped with the pressure," said the boss.

"When he's been asked to step up he's ticked the boxes.

"The bigger the stage, the better he's been. There isn't any bigger stage than this so I'm hoping he performs - otherwise we'll sell him!

"He's great - he loves playing, he doesn't get affected, I don't think he gets nervous. He's not the type, he's a terrific player.

"I think he realises the enormity. He's been around Aston Villa fans all his life.

"Jack has never seen the club win a trophy in his years, so it's a great opportunity."
