Manchester City players dominate the shortlist for this year's PFA Player of the Year award with as many as four stars from Pep Guardiola's side nominated for the prize. Only two players - Thierry Henry in 2004 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008 - have been crowned as back-to-back PFA Player of the Year award winners. The PFA list is slightly different from the Premier League's own Player of the Year award shortlist announced on Tuesday, with Gundogan and Foden not shortlisted for that prize. Mount was, however, named in the Young Player of the Year shortlist, along with England team-mate Foden. Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold was last season's winner of the Young Players' prize, as Jurgen Klopp's Reds raced to the 2019-20 league title.
