Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says they're capable of upsetting Manchester United.

Smith claims his men will go toe-to-toe with a side who he considers to be genuine title contenders.

During his pre-match press conference, Smith said: "I believe they are. More importantly, they believe they are.

"I have seen David de Gea's interview. They've got title aspirations and a club like Manchester United should have.

"They have brought in Ronaldo, Varane this summer, Sancho. That's to add to a glittering squad already.

"It's a massive club with a massive history. They are going to be pushing to try and challenge the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.

"Our job is to go there and go toe-to-toe with them like we did with Chelsea."
