West Brom striker Callum Robinson has fired a warning at teammates ahead of facing Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish.
Robinson grew up with Grealish at Villa's academy and remains close to the England midfielder despite moving away to further his own career.
"There aren't many options, to be fair," says Robinson. "You try clamping him and he'll get about 15 free kicks in one game.
"Don't jump in and try and gamble - because that's what I did every time. By gambling he just strides straight past you.
"He's got a lot to his game so we'll try and find a way to set up and stop him. It's difficult against the top players but we've done well against Harry Kane and Son who didn't have any joy against us."
Robinson played alongside Grealish as part of an excellent Villa youth side before leaving the club age 21 to gain first-team opportunities at Preston, Sheffield United and now Albion.
"It's a thin borderline between belief and thinking you've made it," acknowledges the forward about his early years. "I look back at my time at Villa and think I had a little feeling in the back of my head that I had already done it.
"But I realise now I was nowhere near it. You've got to stay grounded."
