The PFA Players’ Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year will also be named at the event.

The Championship team of the year, meanwhile, features four players from Brighton: goalkeeper David Stockdale, defenders Bruno and Lewis Dunk and the division’s player of the year, midfielder Anthony Knockaert.

Fulham contribute two players to the Championship team, 16-year-old defender Ryan Sessegnon and midfielder Tom Cairney. The two remaining players are Leeds forward Chris Wood, the club’s top scorer with 25 league goals, and Huddersfield midfielder Aaron Mooy.
