FIFA 20 Premier League POTM January: Seven man shortlist announced - Aguero, Alisson, Doucoure & more


JANUARY'S PREMIER LEAGUE POTM OF THE MONTH HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED - HEAD HERE TO SEE WHO WON

The first month of the new decade is drawing to a close and as a result, we’re one month closer to the business end of the Premier League season.

January saw Liverpool extend their seemingly unassailable lead at the top of the table to a whopping 19 points.

Things have begun to heat up at the bottom of the table, with Norwich, Watford and Bournemouth currently sitting in the bottom three.

After four rounds of tantalising football, EA has announced their seven-man shortlist for the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month award for January.

Manchester City won three of their four fixtures in the month of January but with Liverpool flying, they fell further behind the runaway leaders.

Sergio Aguero is back amongst the goals though - a hat-trick at Aston Villa and two goals in the draw with Palace make him a front runner for the award.

Alisson
