Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard says facing Manchester United in the FA Cup is a tough draw.
Gerrard insists they'll go to Old Trafford with the aim to win.
He said, "We've been given a really tough draw - to go to Old Trafford in the opening round. There were certainly kinder draws out there for us, but you get what you're given.
“You have to prepare your team in the best possible way. Any time you go to Old Trafford with the level of player they've got, you know you're going to be in for a really tough game.
“We'll go there with the strongest possible team we've got available to try and get the best result we can."
Gerrard added: “Ollie Watkins is due back with the group on Saturday, so that will be a welcome addition. Tyrone Mings comes back from suspension – he's fit, well and available.
“Ashley Young's got an outside chance. He's got a frustrating one where he's still got a little bit of discomfort in his fractured toe, but he's doing everything he can to get back as quick as he can.
“The rest is as it was. We've come through Brentford with no major injuries. Kortney Hause has had a bit of tightness after the game, but that's settled down and he trained today."
