The PFA Awards take place Tuesday, Aug. 19 celebrating the best men’s and women’s players from English football last season. Awards to be handed out include Player of the Year across the Premier League, EFL Championship, League One and Two plus the Women’s Super League.

Last year, Manchester City’s Phil Foden and Khadija Shaw took home the top honours in the men’s and women’s categories respectively. Elsewhere, Cole Palmer and Grace Clinton won their respective Young Player of the Year awards.

Prior to the ceremony, Sir Gareth Southgate and Emma Hayes OBE both won the PFA Merit award recognising both coaches for their contributions to the sport.

Here’s the full list of shortlists for each category being awarded tonight at the PFA Awards.
