Jack Grealish is drawing inspiration from one of his young Aston Villa teammates.
Grealish is particularly looking forward to making his home debut after witnessing close pal Callum Robinson's Premier League bow at Villa Park towards the end of last season.
"I'd got a Saturday off from Notts County so I was at the Southampton match watching from the stands when Callum came on for his Premier League debut," said Grealish to the Birmingham Mail.
"It was such a great feeling watching one of my close mates get on at Villa Park and the reception he got from the fans made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
"When you have joined Villa as a young kid and worked so hard to come through the academy then it all feels worthwhile to play for the first team.
"And when you get that feeling you just want it more and more. It's so exciting to be within touching distance, but we know the hard work has only just started."
