Everton, Liverpool and Southampton starlets also in the running.
The PFA Young Player of the Year nominations have thrown up some interesting questions about which of the Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool or Southampton’s representatives will win.
As Premier League leaders the Reds perhaps understandably have the most nominees with two, as Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling make up the Anfield contingent.
Both of the England internationals have been instrumental in the Merseysiders’ charge on their first league title since 1990 and Sturridge’s form has also seen the striker shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award as well.
Fellow Englishmen Ross Barkley and Luke Shaw make up those from the home nation, with the duo having been stalwarts in their respective teams and are both likely to make Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad for the 2014 World Cup.
Eden Hazard is the only Blues representative and like Sturridge is also included on the PFA Plaayer of the Year shortlist.
Finally Gunners midfielder Aaron Ramsey makes up the contingent, with the Wales international starting the campaign brilliantly before an injury on Boxing Day 2013 kept the 23-year-old out of action until earlier this month.
Here’s a breakdown of who fanatix thinks will win.
