Ranking the 5 favorites for PFA POTY

#3 Bernardo Silva | Manchester City

Bernardo Silva has played in a lot of positions in the Premier League and has managed to make a mark

That Manchester United have two players on this list speaks of the sheer dominance of Pep Guardiola and the Cityzens in Premier League. Bernardo Silva has been highly instrumental in City's season, and he is a good reason they're currently consolidating their position at the top of the table.

One of the most versatile players on this list, Bernando Silva has played in nearly every part of the final third and midfield for City this season.

Although he is a utility player, capable of slotting into nearly any non-defensive position, Silva's quality has improved dramatically this season. In 28 EPL games, the Portugal international has scored seven goals and assisted in two.

In his last 10 games in all competitions, the 27-year-old has managed two goals and two assists from different positions on the field. If any player has a serious chance of challenging for this year's PFA POTY award, it is Bernardo Silva.

#2 Kevin de Bruyne | Manchester City

Kevin de Bruyne has won the PFA POTY award the last two seasons

The Belgium international will be looking to hold onto his crown, but this time around, it might be a little difficult. Having won the PFA POTY award twice already, a third win would cement Kevin de Bruyne's name in the historic annals of the Premier League. However, he will have to contend with Bernardo Silva and other players who have kept up sublime showings this season.

With nine EPL goals and three assists in 22 games for the Cityzens, the star has been an unstoppable force in the league. His last ten games in all competitions has seen de Bruyne garner five goals and five assists, and he arguably could not be more perfect.

Kevin de Bruyne is seen as a complete player, and his accurate but powerful goals are going to help his chances at picking up this award for the third consecutive time.

#1 Mohamed Salah | Liverpool

Mohamed Salah is, possibly, the strongest contender for PFA POTY award

Yet another player from Liverpool on this list only goes to show how close Jurgen Klopp and his men are to breaking Manchester City's hegemony in the EPL. An instrumental player for the Reds in doing so has been Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian maestro has been winning all the accolades for his brilliance and skill. Arguably, one of the most in-form players in all of Europe, Salah's presence in the final third is a threat to any team the Reds face.

After just 27 EPL games this season, the diminutive maestro has scored 20 goals and assisted his team with 10. His last five EPL games have seen the star score four goals and provide one assist, and such high numbers have followed Salah through the season.

He may not reach his 32-goal mark with which he stunned the Premier League in 2017-18. But with a few games left in this campaign, he could well hit the 25-goal mark. If anyone can keep De Bruyne away from a third consecutive PFA POTY award, it is Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah.
