Virgil van Dijk or Raheem Sterling? Danny Murphy gives his verdict on who should win Player of the Year
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk remains Danny Murphys pick for Player of the Season despite Raheem Sterlings excellent campaign for Manchester City.The City winger netted a hat-trick against Watford to keep Pep Guardiolas men top of the Premier League, one point ahead of Sterlings former club Liverpool.Last week, England boss Gareth Southgate backed Sterling for this seasons personal accolades on talkSPORT, and the 24-year-old continues to strengthen his case.Sterling is a key reason behind City’s success2

Nonetheless, former Reds midfielder Murphy believes Van Dijk has still been this seasons standout performer.Its still Van Dijk for me, Murphy told Jim White on talkSPORT.But I think what Sterling showed on Saturday is that hes sharp, hes fit, hes hungry and hes still flying. If he carries on doing that until the end of the season, how many goals can he score?He added: Sterling plays in all the big games, he produces more big moments in big games too.If City win the league, is Sterlings contribution bigger because theyve won the league? Im not sure.Van Dijk remains the favourite for PFA Player of the Year with bookmakers2

If Liverpool or City miss out by a point, it wouldnt detract from Sterling or Van Dijks fantastic season.”Liverpool have kept 17 clean sheets in the Premier League so far this term more than any other club – and Van Dijk has been credited with removing any vulnerability from a shaky defence following his Anfield arrival in January 2018.
