Lewis could find himself having to try to contain Young (pictured)

Gillingham's Stuart Lewis has insisted he will not feel intimidated if he has to mark England winger Ashley Young in the FA Cup match with Aston Villa.

Lewis is expected to play at right-back as cover for Gills captain Barry Fuller, who is suspended.

He told BBC Radio Kent: "It'll be an interesting one but I can only do my best and see where it goes from there.

"We've got to be positive. You can't think 'it's Ashley Young'. It's just one-on-one and see how you get on."

Lewis added: "It will be good to put yourself up against some of the best players in the Premier League and see where you are.

"I think we've just got to go out there, enjoy the day, and do our best.

"It's a big occasion for us players and we've got nothing to lose.

"It's all positive from the camp, there's nothing negative from my point of view and I think all the lads would say the same thing, it's just all positive thoughts."
