Premier League Player of the Season race features three Liverpool stars

Leading the pack are captain Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch, all of whom have been instrumental throughout the campaign.

Van Dijk has featured in every single match this season, anchoring a defence that has kept 14 clean sheets. Meanwhile, Gravenberch has been a near-ever-present in midfield, missing just one game. Salah has been a standout, topping the league charts with an impressive 46 goal contributions, including 28 goals.

Nottingham Forest are the only other club to have multiple players nominated. Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White joins striker Chris Wood on the shortlist, with Wood enjoying a career-best Premier League season, netting 20 times in 34 appearances.

Other contenders include Newcastle United's Alexander Isak, who ranks second in the goal-scoring list with 23 strikes, and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, whose 18 goals and seven assists place him third in total goal contributions across the league.

Rounding off the nominations is Arsenal's Declan Rice, the talented midfielder who has consistently impressed this campaign.
