Five Manchester City players have been named in the English Professional Footballers' Association Premier League Team of the Year.
Having been confirmed as champions on Sunday after second-placed Manchester United lost 1-0 to West Bromwich Albion, the Etihad celebrations continue with the choice, by their fellow professionals, of defenders Nicolás Otamendi and Kyle Walker, midfielders Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva and forward Sergio Agüero as part of a three-man attack.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, currently leading the Premier League scoring chart on 30 goals, accompanies Agüero and Tottenham's Harry Kane, who has scored 26 league goals, in that attacking line-up.
Only the goalkeeper David de Gea was named from United, while fourth-placed Tottenham boast three selections in Kane, playmaker Christian Eriksen central defender Jan Verthongen.
Completing the line-up, and despite last season's champions' disappointing title defence, Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso was named in a team he failed to make last year when losing out to Tottenham's Danny Rose. Alonso held off strong competition from left-backs such as Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Tottenham's Ben Davies.
On Sunday, the overall winner of the PFA Player of the Year award will be unveiled, with De Bruyne, De Gea, Kane, Silva and Salah all nominated, along with City winger Leroy Sané, surprisingly omitted from the Team of the Year.
