Henry's going to have to go some for the rest of the season to pip his teammate, who will be out till the autumn at least with his cruciate ligament injury. But they both face stiff competition. As well as the 2 Arsenal players, the list features 3 from Man Utd: Keane, Beckham, and van Nistelrooy.

Keane and Beckham might get some sympathy votes (like Pires) following their injuries this week, but van Nistelrooy who has lets face it had a storming first season must be the main threat. He's been tipped by George Graham among others. The 6th player on the list is Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

The nominees for the young player of the season award include no Arsenal players.

And Dennis Bergkamp's recent form has won him the player of the month award for March.
