AHEAD OF THE GAME: Man City fear Kevin De Bruyne will be denied Player of the Year Award with the PFA voting deadline closing before his four-goal masterclass at Wolves... with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah favourite

Manchester City players are unhappy with the PFA for closing the voting for their Player of the Year Award last Sunday, which they fear could stop Kevin De Bruyne winning the trophy for a third successive year.

The players' poll closed well before the end of the season despite voting being conducted online or via an App, and the fact that the awards night does not take place until June 9, when it will again be a virtual event.

Mohamed Salah is the short-priced favourite to win the award for a second time, but City are on course to beat Liverpool to the Premier League title in large part due to the inspirational De Bruyne.
