Villa boss Lambert set to hand Grealish Cup start

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert admits Jack Grealish is likely to start tonight against Capital One Cup opponents Leyton Orient.

Grealish, 18, is a loan target for several Championship clubs.

"There's a chance he'll start," said Lambert.

"I don't have a problem throwing him in. He's growing up a lot and is still 18 years of age.

"I was going to put him on on Saturday and then Aly (Cissokho) got hurt.

"He's done okay and he's got miles to go in the game."
