The shortlists for the Premier League Player, Young Player and Manager of the Season awards have been revealed and you can vote for your winners.

Eight players have been nominated for the two playing awards, while just five managers are on the shortlist to win the prestigious prize.

Unsurprisingly there are more Liverpool stars than from any other team in the shortlist to win the Player of the Season award.

Mohamed Salah is the likeliest winner, while he is joined by Ryan Gravenberch and Virgil van Dijk on the shortlist.

Salah has been the standout performer for the Reds on their run to the Premier League title this season and the top-scorer in the division with 28 so far.

Nottingham Forest’s impressive season has been rewarded by two players making the shortlist, with Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White in the running.

No other club has more than one nominee for Player of the Season, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo the remaining names on the shortlist.

The Manager of the Season shortlist would have been very tough to predict at the start of the campaign, chiefly because one of them wasn’t even in charge of a Premier League club then.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira has been rewarded for his impact at Molineux by making the shortlist.

The Portuguese was only appointed on December 19, but having guided Wolves well clear of relegation, he has been nominated for the award.

Liverpool’s Arne Slot is an obvious candidate, as is Nottingham Forest’s Nuno Espirito Santo, with Forest challenging for Europe rather than fighting a relegation battle this season.

Newcastle’s Eddie Howe has also got the nod, as has Brentford’s Thomas Frank.
