Hazard, Costa, Sanchez head Player of the Year shortlist

The trio is joined by David de Gea, Harry Kane and Philippe Coutinho, while Thibaut Courtois and Raheem Sterling are Young Player of the Year finalists.

The Professional Footballer's Association (PFA) has announced its shortlist for this season's Player of the Year award, with Chelsea's Eden Hazard and Diego Costa heading the list.

The players are joined by Manchester United's David de Gea, Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Tottenham's Harry Kane.

There is no place, however, for the likes of Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero or Morgan Schneiderlin.
