Mohamed Salah can achieve Liverpool treble but faces familiar opposition

Liverpool fans can still vote for their player of the year, with the winner to be decided very soon.

Mohamed Salah is the leading contender to win the award, having previously been voted as the Liverpool Fans’ Footballer of the Year on two previous occasions. The Egyptian has scored 22 goals across the calendar year and is a potential winner once again.

There are three other players, though, who are candidates in the vote and are vying to be crowned this year's winner. They are Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara.

VOTE: Make your decision on Liverpool's Fans' Footballer of the Year

Alisson has been in fine form for Liverpool this season, despite the club struggling for consistency in the Premier League. The Brazilian could well be a contender to beat Salah to this year’s award.

Diaz has certainly impressed supporters since his arrival from Porto in January. From his first appearance as a substitute against Cardiff City in the FA Cup, the winger has been a regular source of excitement for fans.

With Sadio Mane’s exit for Bayern Munich in the summer, there was extra pressure on Diaz’s shoulders to perform. He is currently on the sidelines with a knee injury, but could still be in with a shout of winning the award.

The final player up for the award is Thiago, who despite not being a regular in the team due to his various injuries over the past year, is always a favourite among fans. When available, the Spaniard is arguably the first name on the team sheet and supporters are likely to feel he is deserving of the award.

At the time of writing on Monday, December 12, there have been thousands of votes already cast by Liverpool fans. And you have until later this week to get your vote in for your Liverpool Footballer of the Year for 2022.
