Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish is happy with his form.

Grealish feels he's establishing himself as a first-choice.

He said: “I feel like my form has improved and I feel like I am playing with confidence now. The goals and the assists are coming and I am doing it in the big games.

“I think it is important that I am getting goals and assists in important situations.

“It is always nice to get goals and assists but to do it in games that mean a lot, like when you are drawing and it puts your team 2-1 up is different to when you are winning 4-0 and you score to make it 5-0.

“I feel like I am contributing in these big games so hopefully it can continue."

City face Newcastle in the early kickoff today.

Grealish added: “They are a hardworking, honest team with a lot of talent.

“I think they have been brilliant this season and have a brilliant manager. Credit to them, they have been brilliant. They are going to want to bounce back from their defeat last weekend in the final, so we are going to be expecting a really tough game.

“It is a game we are looking forward to back at the Etihad, we have had a lot of away games recently so it will be nice to go back there.

“One of my best friends from Villa is there, Matt Targett and one of my best friends from the England team, Nick Pope. I am looking forward to playing against them.

“They have brilliant players all over the pitch; Bruno, Almiron, Joelinton, a lot of talent all over the pitch.

“It is going to be a tough game, but something we are looking forward to."
