Manchester City’s trio of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Rodri have all made the PFA men’s Player of the Year shortlist.

The list of nomnees was unveiled on Tuesday morning.

Arsenal captain, Martin Ødegaard and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer also in contention for the honour.

Aston Villa and England striker Ollie Watkins, who helped the club qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 1982-83, rounds out the nominations as players vote for their star performers from the 2023-24 Premier League season.

Foden, a two-time Premier League Young Player of the Year award winner, has already claimed the Premier League’s Player of the Season and the Football Writers’ Player of the Season.

Haaland earned his second consecutive Golden Boot last term with 27 league goals, while Rodri went 74 games unbeaten for club and country until the FA Cup final defeat to Manchester United as City won their fourth successive league title.

Palmer stands as the only candidate with a chance of winning both the Young Player of the Year award and the main prize after a stunning debut campaign at Stamford Bridge in which he amassed 22 goals and 11 assists.
