Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has been named on the six-man shortlist for the 2013 PFA Player of the Year award alongside Gareth Bale and Robin van Persie.

The Uruguayan has struck 29 goals for the Reds this season, with 22 of those coming in the Barclays Premier League - more than any other player in the division.

Two of his competitors for the prestigious award have scooped the prize in each of the last two years, with Van Persie honoured in 2012 and Welsh winger Bale the previous year.

Also nominated by their peers were Michael Carrick, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata.

The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony on April 28.
