PFA Player of the Year: Liverpool stars dominate shortlist for award

Four Liverpool stars dominate the shortlist for the PFA Player of the Year Award. The recently crowned Premier League champions have Virgil van Dijk, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold on the list of nominees.

Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling make up the six-man shortlist.

Liverpool dominated last season, with Jurgen Klopp’s men securing their first Premier League title.

The Reds finished 18 points ahead of City in second and a staggering 33 points ahead of Manchester United in third.

Their title success made Liverpool reigning European, World and Premier League champions.
