Gary Neville, Cesc Fabregas and Yaya Toure are among the next names in the running to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame from a 15-man shortlist.
Fans have been asked to vote who they believe should be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which launched in 2021. Candidates for the latest round have to have been retired by 1 January 2024, while only their Premier League contributions can be considered.
Manchester United icon Gary Neville is at the top of the list after winning eight titles during his playing career. He is joined by former Red Devils’ teammates Edwin van der Sar, Nemanja Vidic and Michael Carrick. United are also represented by former strikers Andrew Cole and Michael Owen. Cole sits fourth in the all-time top goalscorers list behind only Alan Shearer, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney.
Fierce rivals Liverpool are also well represented with former strikers Owen and Robbie Fowler nominated. The pair scored 313 Premier League goals between them during their respective careers.
Manchester City can also boast a couple of glittering names in the list. Midfielders Yaya Toure and David Silva were both key in kicking off a period of unprecedented success at the Etihad Stadium and might find themselves in the Hall of Fame.
Chelsea also have a trio of their icons under consideration. Former captain John Terry is among the latest round of nominees, while former winger Eden Hazard could potentially be inducted following his retirement. Cesc Fabregas has also been nominated following his displays for the Blues and Arsenal

Other names include prolific strikers Jermain Defoe and Les Ferdinand, while former Arsenal star Sol Campbell is under consideration. Should he get voted in, he would join ex-teammate Ashley Cole in joining the Hall of Fame.
Speaking after his own induction, the former defender said: "I'm honoured to join the Premier League Hall of Fame. It's humbling and fulfilling to be rewarded at the end of your career. I went through my career just trying to give my best and be good enough.
“You take it day by day and game by game. As a young kid, you never dream of any of this and you just do it for the love of the game of football.
"I played for some fantastic clubs with incredible fans. Winning trophies with my boyhood club Arsenal and with Chelsea are amazing memories that will always be with me.
"It's emotional to reflect because a lot of hard work has been put in. To join the Hall of Fame alongside the likes of Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba and Rio Ferdinand, I'm privileged to be in their company."
New inductees will be announced on Monday 22 April. Those successful will receive a personalised medallion, while the Premier League will make a £10,000 donation to a charity of the inductee’s choice.
