Daniel Sturridge
He may be facing a lengthy injury lay-off, but he has started the season in spectacular fashion, scoring 9 goals and assisting twice in 12 games to stay in the race with Sergio Aguero and Luis Suarez for the Premier League golden boot. Sturridge could be on the short list for the award should he fire Liverpool to Champions League football, though the main stumbling block between him and the player of the year award is a certain Uruguayan team mate of his.
