Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and Cole Palmer are among the eight players shortlisted for the Premier League's Player of the Season award.

The two Manchester City players are in the midst of another stellar campaign in which their team is in the hunt to win an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title. Haaland has 25 goals in 28 games, while Foden has been vital to City's success with 16 goals and eight assists.

Meanwhile, Palmer, who left Manchester City last summer, is enjoying a breakout season with Chelsea and has been one of the few bright spots for a team that's struggled to live up to expectations. The 22-year-old has 21 goals and nine assists.

Arsenal's Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, Newcastle forward Alexander Isak, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, and Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins round out the list of nominees for the prestigious award.

Fans can vote for the 2023-24 EA SPORTS Player of the Season award on EA SPORTS' website until May 13, with the winner being announced May 18.

Manchester City players have won the last four awards. Kevin De Bruyne won it twice, while Ruben Dias and Haaland, last year's winner, have also been honored.

Haaland, Foden, Palmer, and Isak were also nominated for the Premier League's Young Player of the Season award. Other nominees include Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, and Tottenham's Destiny Udogie.

Meanwhile, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is up for the Manager of the Season award again after winning it last year. He's nominated alongside Arsenal's Mikel Arteta, Aston Villa's Unai Emery, Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola.
