Sky Sports can now reveal the contenders for the PFA Fans' Player of the Month Awards for November.

Manchester United's Anthony Martial won the first Barclays Premier League award of the season, while Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal won October's gong, and this month's shortlist features Leicester's in-form hit man Jamie Vardy, United defender Chris Smalling and Mesut Ozil of Arsenal.

Tottenham's 19-year-old midfielder Dele Alli is also included, alongside his Spurs team-mate Harry Kane, Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Everton's Romelu Lukaku.

The competition is just as stiff in the Sky Bet Football League, with Alex Mowatt (Leeds), Jacob Murphy (Coventry) and Kemar Roofe (Oxford Utd) all featuring in the shortlists compiled by the expert panel of judges as they look to follow October winners Fernando Forestieri (Sheffield Wednesday), Sullay Kaikai (Shrewsbury) and Reuben Reid (Plymouth).

Every month, throughout the English football season, fans will have the opportunity to vote on skysports.com for who they think has been the best player in each of the Barclays Premier League, Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two, after Sky Sports teamed up with the PFA to be the digital platform for the Awards.

Before the vote opens each month, an expert panel will produce a shortlist of contenders. Fans will then be able to vote for the player they think deserves the award.
