Jack Grealish had admitted he's looking forward to the 'massive' Manchester derby on Sunday.
The England international is yet to face Manchester City's crown-town rivals since his move to the Etihad. Back in November when City side ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at Old Trafford, Grealish had to make do with a place on the bench.
Heading into the return fixture, Grealish is excited about the prospect of facing Manchester United. He said: "It is a massive game. It is a game we are going to go into with full confidence and it is a game that we need to win.

"It is going to be a good one. It is my first Manchester derby at the Etihad so I cannot wait. I am looking forward to it."
Grealish is no stranger to fiercely contested derbies having spent most of his career at boyhood club Aston Villa, who share the second city derby with neighbours Birmingham City. He has faced United three times in his career so far but has yet to record a win.
The 26-year-old returned to action on Tuesday night following a shin injury. His return saw him hit all the right notes as Grealish scored an exquisite goal to seal progression through to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
