Who'll be crowned the 2016 PFA Players' Player of the Year?
There is still plenty to play for as this enthralling Premier League season draws to its climax, including the race for individual honours.
Here, ahead of the ceremony on Sunday evening, we look at the six nominees shortlisted for the most prestigious individual accolade in English football...
Harry Kane - Tottenham Hotspur
Having secured the 2015 PFA Young Player of the Year award for his stellar breakthrough season at Spurs, many doubted whether Harry Kane - who is also nominated for the Young Player of the Year Award - could continue his rich vein of goalscoring form. However, after failing to score in his first six league outings, the England striker silenced his critics, hitting the net on 24 occasions - more than any other Spurs player has been able to do in the Premier League era.
As a result, the 22-year-old's goals have been the focal point of Tottenham's assault on a first top-flight crown since 1961. Kane's England team-mate Jamie Vardy and Man City's Sergio Aguero are the only other player to have scored at least 20 goals in the league this season, while no other top-flight player has scored more braces than Kane (6) this season.
N'Golo Kante - Leicester City
Few will have predicted the impact N'Golo Kante would have at Leicester following his £5.6m summer transfer from Caen. An unsung hero for the majority of the season, the Frenchman's dynamic displays in the heart of Claudio Ranieri's title-chasing team have seen him earn praise and plaudits at club and international level.
The defensive midfielder has been the linchpin of Leicester's success but there is much more to his game than just sweeping up in front of the back four. Kante's work-rate and range of passing have been of the highest order and a big queue of Europe's top clubs chasing his signature is expected this summer.
Riyad Mahrez - Leicester City
The bookies' favourite to win the gong, Riyad Mahrez has been sensational for the Foxes and arguably their outstanding player.
The elegant Algerian can at times be unplayable and crucially there has been an end product to the dazzling footwork which lifts people out of their seats, as confirmed by 16 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League. His game is built on pace and skill but he is prepared to dig in and work, too.
Mesut Ozil - Arsenal
Arsenal have come in for sustained criticism this season but Mesut Ozil has risen above it all to stand out in a team crammed full of world-class players.
The German was a surprise ommision from the PFA Team of the Year, but six goals and 18 assists - more than anyone else in the top flight - have convinced boss Arsene Wenger that Ozil deserves to win the award. He sees openings that other players do not to consistently carve open top-flight defences.
Dimitri Payet - West Ham
Dimitri Payet's seamless transition to life in the Premier League has seen him emerge as one of the signings of the summer. The Frenchman has provided flair and flamboyance in equal measure as the Hammers look to end their final season at the Boleyn Ground with a flourish; he's one of the main reasons Slaven Bilic's side are challenging for a top-six finish.
Payet has scored nine goals with the same number of assists and his mesmerising displays have stunned both fans and team-mates alike. He has the level of skill to make fools out of opponents, while his dead-ball brilliance has resulted in some spectacular goals.
Jamie Vardy - Leicester City
Jamie Vardy's remarkable rise from non-league football has been one of the stories of the season. Having played a key role in Leicester's survival bid last season, the 29-year-old's tireless displays have typified Leicester's season as they stand within reach of the title.
The striker is the first Foxes player to score 20+ goals in a top-flight season since Gary Lineker in 1984/85 and he also broke Ruud van Nistelrooy's record for goals in consecutive Premier League games (11).
Vardy's searing pace, trickery and eye for goal have been a revelation and many feel his contributions to Leicester's unlikely charge mean he should start for England at this summer's Euro 2016 finals.
