Aston Villa captain John McGinn wants the team to end the season on the right foot.

The Midlands club are within touching distance of the top four finish and a Champions League spot.

As they prepare to take on Liverpool on Monday night, captain McGinn stated: “It is clear the boys need a lift but it is up to us to find that fire and get over the line.

“There has been a determination for five or six weeks.

“That is the frustrating thing, we could have had it wrapped up before now. But the Premier League is extremely difficult.

“We have had some setbacks along the way but this group will keep fighting.

“We are so disappointed not to have gone all the way in Europe. We have underachieved there but we will learn from it and be back better and stronger next year."
