Ahead of this week's announcement of the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, the Sunday Supplement panel give their own verdicts on who has been the outstanding performer in the Premier League this season.

With Liverpool having run away with the title this campaign, the champions are likely to dominate the voting, with a whole host of possible contenders coming from Anfield.

Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, captain Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have all enjoyed impressive seasons for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Meanwhile, the winner may come from recently deposed champions Manchester City, with both Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling having produced a number of eye-catching performances to help Pep Guardiola's team seal the runners-up spot behind Liverpool.

And do not forget Leicester City's red-hot striker Jamie Vardy, who currently heads the race for this seasons' Golden Boot having scored 23 goals to help push the Foxes to the brink of Champions League qualification.

However, this is who the Sunday Supplement's three guests have voted for ahead of Friday's announcement...

Dominic King, northwest football reporter, the Daily Mail - Jordan Henderson

I believe he has been the outstanding performer for Liverpool. He has been man of the match in all the big games, the intensity that he provides in driving the team forward, the standards that he sets every day in training.

And that is even without me mentioning the stuff he has done with the Players Together Campaign. I think he has been an absolute credit and that is where my vote [for the Football Writers' Award] went.

Sami Mokbel, chief football reporter, the Daily Mail - Sadio Mane

I do not think you can go too far between Man City and Liverpool, there have been fantastic performances and players throughout those squads. I think if you are looking at City, Kevin De Bruyne, what a fantastic footballer. Raheem Sterling, again improving on his numbers and he is an absolute superstar, while Jordan Henderson is the driving force behind that Liverpool team. When he plays, and plays well, Liverpool essentially win that football match.

But for me, Mane is what makes them tick, when he is in the team and playing well, he is a frightening prospect. He is a fantastic footballer, assists, goals, everything you name it. And for me, I think Liverpool would be a completely different proposition without Mane in the team, hence why I voted for him.

I think the problem Liverpool have this season is the problem Man City had in the previous two in that there are lots of different players who you could pinpoint as being central to Liverpool's success.

Henderson - because he gave Liverpool their first EPL title in 30years

De bruyne

Mane

Trent

Even as a Liverpool fan, I have to go with this order:

1. Kevin de Bruyne

2. Sadio Mane

3. Mohammed Salah

Kevin de Bruyne is easily the best midfielder in the world right now, that's if we consider Leo Messi as a forward.

de bruyne gat the award...he deserves it more
