Aston Villa captain McGinn: Prem title? You never know...

Aston Villa captain John McGinn says they're capable of winning the Premier League this season.

McGinn admits there's frustration after dropping points in recent games, including their draw against Everton.

He said: "The disappointing thing for us is we have had several opportunities to get to the top of the table, whether that is on our own or joint with another team.

“That has been a frustration, whether it be the game against Nottingham Forest, against Sheffield United and here again at Everton on Sunday.

“But the league is very difficult. Teams are going to take points off each other. City are obviously favourites to win it but you just never know.

“This season has been really exciting and it is just brilliant to be part of what is going to be an exciting end to it.

“We are going into every game with the same mentality, we are going in to win. Even toward the end of the game we are pushing.

“At that point they (Everton) are happy with the draw but we want the win. We have that mentality now. We are coming here, dominating and trying to get the three points.

“We have huge respect for Everton as a club. Their supporters are so passionate and they make it so difficult for you to find a rhythm. I think it's a good point in the end."
