This morning, the FA announced the list of eight candidates for the best player in the Premier League this season, of which Arsenal and Manchester City, who are chasing the top spot in the Premier League, have become the biggest winners, with two players selected each, and the remaining four are from Liverpool, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Chelsea.

What is clear is that Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, Newcastle United's Isak, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and Chelsea's Palmer are all destined to be accompanied. That's not to say they don't perform badly, as Palmer has scored 24 goals and provided 13 assists in 42 appearances this season, which is no slouch for any player, especially given that the 22-year-old still has such a fantastic season in such a chaotic environment at Chelsea and fully deserves the Player of the Match award.

However, the Premier League's best player (MVP) is not purely determined by personal data, although Chelsea's recent results have been on the rise, and now they have surpassed Manchester United to finish seventh in the league and are expected to enter the European places, but there is still a 30-point gap between them and the top group in the championship group. The same is true for Watkins and Isak, with Villa 16 points from the top of the table in fourth and Newcastle 27 points from the top of the table in sixth.

Van Dijk's Liverpool is only 5 points away from the top of the table, but unfortunately, unless there is a big accident, Liverpool is already destined to be destined to be the Premier League champion this season, not to mention that from the perspective of team performance, Liverpool is not the best defensive team in the Premier League, Van Dijk also lacks a highlight defensive performance this year, and it is very difficult to win the Premier League MVP.

Therefore, the best player in the Premier League this time is destined to be produced in Arsenal's Odegaard, Rice and Manchester City's: Haaland, Foden.

If Arsenal win the title, then it will be one of Rice and Odegaard who will get the best player in the end. Of the two, it seems that Odegaard will have the upper hand on the surface. After all, he is currently the captain of the Gunners, with 11 goals and nine assists in 46 appearances this season, which is a dazzling statistic for a playmaking midfielder.

However, Rice is actually more hopeful than Odegaard. First of all, as a defensive midfielder, Rice has 7 goals and 9 assists in 49 appearances for Arsenal, although he is slightly inferior to Odegaard, but the difference in the positioning of the two makes his statistics more valuable.

Secondly, the Premier League, as the best commercially run league in football today, knows how to make stars. As an Englishman, Rice has a sunny and handsome image, and he is a peerless good husband off the field.

If Manchester City win the title, the situation is a little more complicated. Statistically, Haaland currently leads the Premier League's scorers' charts, with 36 goals and the most goals scored by Manchester City. However, Foden's 24 goals and 11 assists also played a phenomenal and brilliant season, and the two are evenly matched in the team's performance.

In terms of commercial value, Haaland is clearly more well-known in the world, and a Premier League Most Valuable Player award would also be a plus for him to compete for the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

However, first of all, because Norway did not qualify for the European Championship and Manchester City also went out of the Champions League, it will be difficult for Haaland to compete for these two awards. Secondly, Foden's English nationality and his two of the best players in England's attacking line this year are very much in the interest of Premier League stars, at least in terms of business, he is on par with Haaland.

Therefore, we can even boldly assume that once Manchester City wins the Premier League, the chances of the best players in the Premier League this year, Foden and Haaland winning the award, are at least 60% VS 40%.

Now, with two weeks to go until the end of the Premier League, it remains to be seen who will be the best player in the Premier League.
