Micah Richards insists 'top player' Jack Grealish must 'do more' for Man City as struggling England star is handed first start of the season by Pep Guardiola

Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp have called on Jack Grealish to start playing with 'freedom' again as the Man City star looks to resurrect his previous best form.

Grealish was handed his first start of the season by Pep Guardiola for Saturday's trip to West Ham and is under pressure to perform in a position that City are well stocked in.

The summer arrival of Brazilian star Savinho alongside the continued development of Jeremy Doku has largely shifted Grealish to occupying the bench during a difficult previous campaign.
