On Sunday afternoon, Aston Villa will visit their bitter rivals Birmingham City in the Championship.
There is no downplaying the importance of the match when it comes to what it means for the supporters, but both sides will be desperate for the points as the pair have ambitions of making the playoffs.
Ahead of the clash at St Andrew’s, Birmingham boss Garry Monk insisted that his side would not be targeting Jack Grealish this weekend.
Grealish returned from injury to help Villa record a 4-0 win over Derby County last time out and will be fired up to make his mark against Birmingham.
Monk insisted that his side would not be overly physical when it comes to the attacker, but the Villa fans are just not buying it.

Indeed, a number have taken to social media to dispute Monk’s claim, with many feeling that their star player can expect some rough treatment in the derby.
