While results have frustrated thus far in 2019/20, one undeniable positive has been the contribution made by our summer signings, Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire – the trio that will contest the campaign's first award.
Ever-impressive Academy graduate Scott McTominay just missed out on a place in our poll, as did Anthony Martial, who was unable to capitalise on a very positive start to the season due to an untimely injury picked up in the Crystal Palace game, which ruled him out of the month’s final fixture at Southampton.
McTominay was the final recipient of the award last term, but who will be the first squad member to claim the accolade this season?
