Liverpool, City Dominate PFA Award Nominations

By Daily sports on September 5, 2020

Player of the Year award, with four of Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League champions and two of Pep Guardiola’s team making up the six nominees for the 2019-20 season.

Anfield captain Jordan Henderson, who was voted as Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association (FWA) in July, could become the first player since Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah in 2017-18 to win both the FWA and PFA awards in the same season after being shortlisted alongside club teammates Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane.

City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, the winner of the Premier League Player of the Season award, is also on the shortlist, with Raheem Sterling completing the list.

The PFA award is decided by a vote of the players, with the 2019-20 poll being delayed by almost five months due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which led to the shutdown of English football for 100 days between March and June. The winner will be announced at 7 p.m. BST on Sept. 8.

Liverpool defender Van Dijk has the chance to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo by becoming the first player since him to win back-to-back PFA Player of the Year awards. Ronaldo lifted the trophy in 2007 and 2008 during his time at Manchester United.

The shortlist for the Young Player of the Year award is also dominated by the big clubs following a change to eligibility rules for nominations. (ESPN)
