Could it be 10 Redmen and Kevin De Bruyne?
Odds have been slashed on the PFA Team of the Year containing no less than ten Liverpool players, following their sparkling season.
Yet to taste defeat in the league, bookmakers have cut odds from 14/1 into 6/1 that 10 or more players make it into the team of the season.
That may have something to do with the fact that Liverpool are a whopping 1/100 to win the league, with Jürgen Klopp’s side set to clean up at the post-season awards.
In fact, bookies have priced Liverpool making up all 11 players in the Team of the Year at just 33/1.

Do any players deserve a spot ahead of the Liverpool team?https://t.co/TSzthjfvsK
Liverpool are also currently dominating the individual award betting, with six of the top seven favourites all playing under the tutelage of Klopp.
That includes the favourite, Jordan Henderson, who tops the market at 2/1, despite being as long as 200/1 earlier in the season.
Teammate Sadio Mane is the second favourite in the market, currently priced at 7/2, following a tremendous season for the forward.
Last year’s winner, Virgil van Dijk, is the 6/1 third favourite to win back-to-back PFA Player of the Year awards.
The only non-Liverpool player competitive in the market, Man City’s maestro Kevin De Bruyne, is the fourth favourite at 7/1, followed by Trent Alexander-Arnold at 16/1.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “Liverpool's sheer dominance this season has been well-documented, and it's now looking overwhelmingly likely that the PFA Team of the Year will be heavily populated by Reds.
“Kevin de Bruyne's likely inclusion, as well as perhaps a centre-back to partner Virgil van Dijk, are the only clear areas of contention this season, but with much football left to play, there's still a chance for players elsewhere to increase their claim to a spot in the Team of the Year.”
