You’d imagine the Arsenal entrants would be favourites in a few of these categories.
Particularly Men’s Young Player of the Year, given three Arsenal nominees from five total nominations, as well as the fact Bukayo Saka is also nominated for Player of the Year.
But it wouldn’t be the first time a player nominated for Player of the Year has missed out on the Young Player of the Year award to a non-POTY nominee, so we shouldn’t count our chickens just yet.
