Aston Villa face the biggest game of their season against Derby County at Wembley today.
Aston Villa ace Jack Grealish sat down for an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, and suggested that on their day, his team can beat anyone.
The Villans take on Derby County at Wembley Stadium today in the Championship play-off final, and Dean Smith’s side will be desperate to return to the Premier League after their three-year hiatus from the top flight.
Aston Villa finished their league campaign in fine fashion, taking 31 points form their final 12 games, and they progressed through against West Brom on penalties in the semi-final of the play-offs.
Derby, meanwhile, were mightily impressive against Leeds United, coming back from 1-0 down in the first-leg, and booking their place in the final.
Grealish, however, told Sky Sports that Villa are not scared of anyone, suggesting that on their day they can mix it with anyone:
“I’ve got the experience and remember the pain from last year, but it’s still about who turns up on the day. I think we can beat anyone if we play to the best of our ability and I have huge confidence when I look at the players around me.”
Aston Villa suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Fulham in last year’s final, and the players who took part in that game will be desperate to prove that they have come a long way in the last 12 months.
And if Smith’s side play to their full ability, Derby will be in for a really tough afternoon in north-west London.
