Strikers top players' poll list

Strikers dominate the nominations for the PFA Players’ player of the year award with Arsenal’s midfielder Patrick Vieira failing to even make the six-man shortlist.

Vieira has been a dominating force in the Gunners’ season but team-mate Thierry Henry is the favourite to win the award, with Everton’s Wayne Rooney expected to be named the young player of the year.
