Three Tottenham players have been named on the shortlist for the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month award for April.
Heung-Min Son, Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen all made the seven-man shortlist, after Mauricio Pochettino's side won every game last month as they put pressure on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League.
Son scored five goals and registered one assist in April, while Eriksen (two goals and two assists) and Belgian Vertonghen (five clean sheets) also contributed to Spurs' success.
Vertonghen's Belgium team-mate Eden Hazard was also named on the shortlist for April, having registered four goals and one assist for Chelsea, along with compatriot Christian Benteke, who scored five goals for Crystal Palace.
Elsewhere, Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, who picked up five clean sheets in April, was also named, with Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero completing the list having notched five goals last month.
Aguero's City are fourth in the Premier League with four games remaining, and host Crystal Palace on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 1.
Leaders Chelsea, four points above second-place Tottenham, host Middlesbrough on Monday Night Football on Sky Sports, while Spurs themselves go to West Ham on Friday Night Football, also on Sky Sports.
The winner will be announced on Friday, May 12.
