Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah on PFA Players' Player of the Year shortlist

The Liverpool duo have been voted by their peers as being among the six best performers in English football during last season. Also in the running for the prestigious honour are Bruno Fernandes, Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer and Declan Rice.

Mac Allister played in 35 of 38 Premier League games and was a model of consistent excellence as the Reds won the title by a margin of 10 points.

The Argentina midfielder was named the division’s Player of the Month for April and ended the top-flight campaign having recorded five goals and five assists.

Salah, meanwhile, produced one of the greatest individual seasons in Premier League history.

The No.11 registered a record-equalling 47 goal involvements – 29 goals and 18 assists, totals that earned him the Golden Boot and Playmaker accolades – while starting all 38 of the champions’ matches.

Salah was duly recognised with the Premier League Player of the Season and Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year prizes and could now become the first man to be named PFA Players’ Player of the Year for a third time after his successes in 2018 and 2022.

The winner of this year’s award will be announced at a PFA ceremony in Manchester on Tuesday August 19.
