Leeds United will be hoping to end Aston Villa’s 10 match winning run on Sunday afternoon.
BBC Sport pundit Martin O’Connor has claimed that Aston Villa’s John McGinn should have been in the PFA’s Team of the Year ahead of Leeds United playmaker Pablo Hernandez.
The former Birmingham City midfielder was left unimpressed that McGinn was left out of the team which is chosen by fellow players.
On Thursday, the PFA announced on their official Twitter account that the likes of Pontus Jansson, Liam Copper, Hernandez, Jack Grealish and Tammy Abraham had been selected in the Championship’s best XI.
But speaking to BBC Radio WM (25/04/2019), O’Connor wasn’t pleased that Villa’s engine in the middle of the park missed out.
“Who picks that team?” O’Connor told BBC Radio WM. “It’s voted by the players and it shows you that it’s biased. Yes, I think so [the players are biased].
“With great respect, McGinn should be in that side. What I’ve seen in the Championship, McGinn should be in that team because he’s better than Hernandez at Leeds.”
It has been a standout campaign for McGinn this season following his summer move from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
In recent weeks, he has played a huge part in Villa winning 10 games on the bounce and he will be hoping to add to that record on Sunday.
Dean Smith’s side travel to Elland Road to take on Leeds United where McGinn and Hernandez will be looking to prove their worth in the middle of the park.
