Since swapping the somewhat clockwork football of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City for the freedom given to him at Everton, Jack Grealish looks like Jack Grealish again.
His take-ons per 90 has rocketed from 3.7 per game at City from the past two seasons to 9.1 per 90 in the Everton blue. Grealish's time at City wasn't wasted of course, he won trophies, created history and matured. But he wasn't the maverick that made him box office.
Well, the maverick inside is being unleashed by David Moyes and Grealish is the most creative player in the Premier League as a result. Grealish has four assists, creating 2.9 chances per 90 from open play - no player to have played 200 minutes or more has a higher per-90 figure from that metric. He is 11/4 with Sky Bet to bag another assist in what should be a routine home win.
This prediction was made before Graham Potter's sacking.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
Jones Knows' Best Bets:
- 1pt double on under 2.5 goals in Man City vs Burnley & over 2.5 goals in Nottingham Forest vs Sunderland (9/2 with Sky Bet)
- 1pt on Leeds to beat Bournemouth (2/1 with Sky Bet)
