Manchester City's Jack Grealish has already chosen his side in the debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The former Aston Villa man moved to the Etihad Stadium in the summer and recently returned from a shin injury to play a starring role in City's 2-0 victory over Peterborough in midweek. On Sunday is hoping to get his first taste of the Manchester derby as a player.

He will be hopeful that his display at London Road on Tuesday is enough to earn him a start. If he is to make it out onto the pitch, Grealish is likely to come up against one of his favourite players of all-time, Ronaldo. In a series of tweets while in the Villa Academy, Grealish made his feelings known about United's star man.

In 2011 he posted: "El Clasico! Woo! Can't wait! Ronaldo or Messi peeps? Ronaldo is the man."
A year later he added: "Just found it's El Clasico next Saturday... Boom! Watch Ronaldo rip up big time."
He would later tell ITV during last summer's European Championship exactly where his admiration for the Portuguese forward derives from. Grealish explained: "When I was a kid, I used to love watching people that would run with the ball.
"I always remember Ronaldo when he came to Villa Park, I used to love watching him."
Grealish is unlikely to be feeling sentimental on Sunday when United visit the Etihad Stadium. City will be looking for three points to help move them a step closer to the Premier League title.
The Reds meanwhile will be hoping for three points to boost their chances of a top-four
