Gerard Brand

Hello and welcome to this special Sky Sports Football podcast, where we will be discussing and debating who's been the best player in the Premier League this season.

As you can imagine, with the coronavirus stopping football and restricting the way we can work, we've had to get creative with how we record this podcast.

But hopefully, by harnessing the power of the internet, we can provide you with a nice distraction from what's going on around the world for the next 30 minutes or so.

I'm Peter Smith, the Sky Sports Football Features Editor.

And later in the show, I'll be joined by my colleagues Nick Wright and Gerard Brand to take an in-depth look into the star performers in the Premier League this season.

But first, I'd like to say Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp's on the line.

Jamie, how are you?

Yeah, absolutely.

We're trying to keep spirits up here as well, and I thought we'd maybe have a look back now at the players who have stood out this season as a bit of a distraction for everyone and a bit of light-hearted chat.

So, I mean, if you look back, Jamie, player of the season, if you were asked to vote this season, who would be your contenders?

Who would you go for?

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, let's get into those players in a second, James.

Just overall, obviously, you picked out Liverpool men's City players.

Do you feel like the player of the season...

has to come from a team that's challenging for the title.

I think if you look back at, you know, if we say the PFA and the FWA are the two main awards, the only player who's

um not come from a top team in that time would be um scott parker i think in in 10 11 he won the fwa award when west ham actually got relegated but generally but generally it is players who are who are going for the title do you think that that team i remember yeah i remember david ginola winning it many years ago because the differences are just people know i mean i remember and i've never got my head around it i mean the the premier uh the

Yeah, he's up to 16 in the Premier League already, which is the joint most across all of Europe's major leagues.

And you think, you know, he's obviously missed some games as well this season.
