The PFA Player of the Year is the award that all the players want. Having been awarded since the 1973–74 season, it is voted for by the players themselves, with the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) choosing its finest player each season.

Over the last two seasons, despite not winning the league, it has been Liverpool who have dominated the awards, with Mohammed Salah’s goalscoring efforts in 2017/18 and Virgil van Dijk’s defensive prowess in 2018/19 both recognised by their fellow peers.

This year’s Premier League season has, of course, been unlike any other. With the three-month hiatus between March and June ceasing all EPL action after three-quarters of the season had been played, the absence of football, along with the loss of momentum has cast the deleted remainder of the 2019/20 season into an odd light.

Who are the favourites to win this year’s award, then, and who might upset the sportsbook to triumph against the odds?
