It promises to be a close run thing for the Young Player of the Year title too, as Chelsea trio John Terry, Glen Johnson and Scott Parker are up against Arsenal's Kolo Toure, Everton's Wayne Rooney and Manchester City's Shaun Wright-Phillips.
YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR (in alphabetical order)
Glen Johnson (Chelsea): A few eyebrows were raised when Chelsea shelled out over £6million on a teenager with such limited Premiership experience - but it could be one of the best pieces of business Claudio Ranieri has conducted.
Scott Parker (Chelsea): Another promising English youngster who has earnt his place among the world stars available to Ranieri.
Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City): References are often made to his famous father, but they might cease as the new England cap continues to make a big name for himself.
Wayne Rooney (Everton): A Young Player of the Year nominee for the second year running, Rooney has lived up to the hype surrounding his dramatic rise to stardom.
John Terry (Chelsea): Continues to grow in stature both as a defender and a leader and, together with Frank Lampard, is one of the first names Ranieri writes down on his team sheet.
Kolo Toure (Arsenal): Has really made his mark in Arsenal's side this season, developing into a top class central defender and the perfect partner for Sol Campbell.
