Dele Alli is the clear favourite to be named PFA Young Player of the Year after the six-man shortlist was announced.
The 20-year-old, who has helped fire Mauricio Pochettino's side to a title challenge, has scored eight goals and added nine assists in a brilliant debut season at Tottenham Hotspur.
He is currently the 1/8 favourite with BetVictor, ahead of Spurs team-mate and Premier League top scorer Harry Kane (5/1), who won this award last season and who is also nominated for the main prize.
Two Everton players - Romelu Lukaku (20/1) and Ross Barkley (25/1) - make the shortlist, despite the club's struggles this season and fan anger at manager Roberto Martinez.
England No 2 Jack Butland makes the cut after an outstanding season at Stoke City, which has been sadly cut short by injury. The final nominee is Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho (33/1).
The shortlist sees a couple of high-profile snubs.
Manchester United starlet Anthony Martial will likely consider himself unlucky not to be nominated, considering the pressure he has played under after a big-money move.
Hector Bellerin has been one of Arsenal's most consistent performers, while Christian Eriksen has again been excellent for Spurs.
