​Grealish claims Aston Villa possess one major advantage over Man City

Aston Villa star Jack Grealish thinks his side have one advantage over Manchester City in the upcoming Carabao Cup final.

The newly promoted side are looking to win a trophy against City on March 1st at Wembley.

Villa, who could be relegated this season, are significant underdogs in the clash given City's pedigree.

But Grealish is optimistic of winning at the ground where they won the play-off final against Derby County last season.

"We can use that experience (of the play-off final vs Derby)," he told the EFL website.

"Plenty of us are still here in the squad, so we'll bring that win into the final.

"We're all really looking forward to it, and I mean everyone – it's a big day out for the club and the fans. Hopefully, we can put a smile on their faces.

"Everyone knows what the Villa fans are like and how good they are.

"At Wembley last year, they played a massive part, and I have no doubt they'll be loud and proud again at the weekend. It's up to us to give them something to shout about."
