Manchester City dominate the 2020/21 PFA Premier League team of the year, with six of the 11 players chosen part of the club’s title winning side.

City players account for the goalkeeper, three of the back four and both central midfielders in the select XI, as voted for by the players themselves.

Ederson has been named as the goalkeeper, with full-back Joao Cancelo and centre-back pairing Ruben Dias and John Stones joined in the back four by Manchester United’s Luke Shaw. Dias has already been named FWA Footballer of the Year thanks to his incredible debut season impact.

Further forward, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan have been chosen in midfield, alongside Manchester United attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who managed 30 combined goals and assists in 37 Premier League appearances in his first full season in England.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, who carried his team at times this season, is back in the PFA team of the year for the first time since the 2017/18 campaign. Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is in it for the first time ever thanks to his most prolific season of his career to date.
