Erling Haaland and Phil Foden are the two nominees from defending champions Manchester City. Midfield duo of Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice will represent current league leaders Arsenal, with Alexander Isak (Newcastle United), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) and Colonel Palmer (Chelsea) the other nominees. the announcement.

The Player of the Season title has been won by a Manchester City player for four consecutive seasons, with Erling Haaland being the latest recipient of the award in the 2022/23 season. Phil Foden may be the frontrunner this season, having performed better than Haaland, who has consistently struggled with injuries, although the Norwegian striker still leads the race for the Golden Boot with 25 goals.

Martin Odegaard has been Arsenal's most competitive and consistent player this season with many impeccable performances. The Gunners captain has scored eight goals in the league while also providing eight assists. Declan Rice's transition from No. 6 to No. 8 under Mikel Arteta has been phenomenal. The Englishman simultaneously lived up to his huge cost and became Arsenal's main piece-taker.

Manchester City will probably regret letting go of Cole Palmer. The young Englishman has been a bright spot in a very dull Premier League campaign for Chelsea. He has 21 goals to his name and is second only to Erlin Haaland. Ollie Watkins has also been exceptional this season as the 28-year-old has played a key role in helping Aston Villa race for the top four this season.
