If the English Premier League ended today, who would be in the running for Player of the Season, and who has sprinkled a little less stardust than we expected?
With Liverpool opening up a five-point gap at the top, there is no under-estimating the importance of Mohamed Salah's continuing ability to snap up chances, even at a time when speculation grows that this might be his final season at Anfield -- his contract expires at the end of June. He has eight goals in 11 league games, including three in his last three, and recently overtook the 163-goal tally of another Liverpool icon, Robbie Fowler.
