Metro's Premier League end-of-season awards

Just one round of Premier League fixtures to go and still so much to be decided.

Who will win the title? Who will join Watford and Norwich in the Championship? And before they leave, can the Canaries do Arsenal a solid by beating Tottenham and handing the Gooners a Champions League lifeline? So much uncertainty still around.

You’ll have to wait until Sunday for answers to the big questions but fortunately, we can settle some crucial issues today with the Matchzone end-of-season awards.

A tricky one to kick us off. The Football Writers’ Association gave Mohamed Salah a free dinner and a nice trophy, a gesture questioned by some when Kevin De Bruyne responded with four goals against Wolves next time out.

But the admirable way in which both Manchester City and Liverpool put team before individual means many contenders but no outstanding candidate.

So, we will use that as an excuse to give our award to a man who did not have a club before January and didn’t play a Premier League game until the end of February — but had a very good excuse.

That Christian Eriksen made it back at all was an incredible achievement after his horrific collapse and near-death experience last summer. Had he had a couple of run-outs, decided elite football was no longer for him and promptly retired it would still have been a gigantic accomplishment.

Instead, Eriksen quickly became Brentford’s most important player, scoring once and providing four assists as the Bees were dragged out of a tailspin and deposited safely in mid-table. That, understandably, cannot be beat.

Manchester City will likely win a fourth league title in five years on Sunday but next weekend they will be wondering what could have been as Liverpool prepare for a third Champions
