THE PFA Premier League Team of the Year has been announced with champions Manchester City dominating the selection.
Five of the eleven players represent Pep Guardiola's side while Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea stars make up the remaining places.
Right-back Kyle Walker, centre-back Nicolas Otamendi, midfielders Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva and striker Sergio Aguero were all named in the XI on Wednesday morning.
Remarkably, it is the first time in seven seasons that Argentina international Aguero has achieved the accolade.
Three Spurs players - Jan Vertonghen, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane - made the cut while Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, Chelsea full-back Marcos Alonso and Liverpool's 30-goal forward Mohamed Salah complete the selection.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
