De Gea, Salah & De Bruyne in as five Man City players make PFA Premier League Team of the Year

Few people will be surprised to see Manchester City dominate the PFA Premier League Team of the Year by having five players named.
Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Kyle Walker are the five newly-crowned English champions included in the XI due to their impressive performances for a side sitting 16 points clear at the top of the table with four games to go.
Despite Pep Guardiola's team's dominance of the league, there are more star-studded names throughout the squad.

Tottenham Hotspur are the next best represented side as star striker Harry Kane takes the centre-forward role, with Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen also included.
Although still sitting second and third in the league, Manchester United and Liverpool only have one star each in the squad, with David de Gea taking his place between the posts and 30-goal hero and PFA Player of the Year Mohamed Salah adding to a mouth-watering attack.
Amid their poor title defence, Chelsea also saw one player named in the side, with Marcos Alonso earning praise for his impressive work on the left side.

Christian Eriksen | Tottenham Hotspur
While Harry Kane gets all the plaudits for his goalscoring exploits, it is impossible to ignore the vital presence of Eriksen in Mauricio Pochettino's side. He has 10 goals and nine assists to his name, and is one of the closest challengers to De Bruyne for the title of the best attacking midfielder in the division.

Mohamed Salah | Liverpool
There has been no shortage of praise for the Egypt international, who is having a mind-blowing season upon his return to England from Roma.
Performing well in the Premier League and still going strong in Europe, Salah is central to everything Liverpool are doing well this season and cannot seem to stop.

Harry Kane | Tottenham Hotspur
Yet another blistering season from England's most prolific player, Kane is on 26 goals in the league to add to the seven he netted in Europe and is said to be attracting Real Madrid.
Spurs are determined to hold on to their star man, however, and are hoping he can help build on their recent promise and fire them to a trophy in the near future.
