Liverpool's Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Steven
Gerrard lead the nominations for the PFA Player of
the Year award.
Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Manchester City's Yaya
Toure and Southampton's Adam Lallana complete
the six-man shortlist.
The Reds' trio have led Liverpool's unexpected
charge for the title this season, with Suarez scoring
29 goals in as many Premier League games,
Sturridge grabbing 20 in 26 and captain Gerrard
scoring 10 and assisting a further 13 in 30 league
games.
Hazard has enjoyed his best season to date as a
Chelsea player, helping them to challenge for the
Premier League and make it into the semifinals of
the Champions League, scoring 17 goals in the
process.
Toure has been the figurehead of City's success as
they have won the Capital One Cup and challenged
for the title. The Ivory Coast international has
scored 22 in 45 games in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Sturridge is also named on the shortlist
for the Young Player of the Year alongside
teammate Raheem Sterling. Hazard is another to
receive a second nod.
Everton's Ross Barkley, Southampton's Luke Shaw
and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey are also
nominated after outstanding seasons for their
respective clubs.
Barkley and Shaw have forced their way into
contention for a possible England call-up ahead of
the World Cup, while Ramsey scored 15 goals prior
to December for Arsenal before having his season cut short by injury.
