Smith insists Aston Villa capable of beating drop

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith insists they're capable of beating the drop.

If everyone can stay together, Smith still believes it can happen.

He told Sky Sports: "One of the biggest reasons that we were promoted was because of the togetherness at the club, the staff, the players and the supporters. That has to be the same now.

"We have not got supporters in the stadium but we feel their support. If they can direct that on social media, the players will certainly feel that.

"I certainly believe in this group of players and I believe that we will remain in the league. I can see from the look in the players' eyes that they are ready for this."
