Aston Villa captain Grealish: Prem restart just weird

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish admits he didn't enjoy their restart against Sheffield United.

Villa host Chelsea on Sunday, with games behind-closed-doors for the rest of the season amid the coronavirus pandemic.

They restarted the Premier League on Wednesday, drawing 0-0 with Sheffield United and missing the chance to escape the Premier League drop zone.

"People said it would be different once we got out there because you would know it is on TV and there are millions watching," he told Villa TV.

"It's weird. You do feel it is like a game behind closed doors, probably like a non-competitive game.

"You try not to think like that because it is a competitive game and you are fighting for points.

"But it is hard, if I am honest. All we can do now is give our all to the end of the season and try to get results

"I love playing with fans and performing in front of fans and showing what I can do."
