Tottenham star Lucas Moura and Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso have been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for August.
Brazilian winger Lucas has impressed since coming into the first-team to replace the absent Heung-min Son, scoring twice in the 3-0 win over Manchester United on Monday evening at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old was forced to play a bit-part role last season but looks to have finally adapted to the pace of the Premier League after a £23 million move from PSG last summer.
He will face competition from Spanish full-back Alonso, who has been influential despite operating in a more defensive role under Maurizio Sarri, scoring once and creating four goals for his team-mates.
The 27-year-old's performances have not gone unnoticed at international level, after he was recalled to the Spain squad by coach Luis Enrique the games against Croatia and England.
Liverpool sit top of the table after winning all three of their games so far and Reds duo Virgil Van Dijk and Sadio Mane have been recognised for their performances.
The Liverpool backline are yet to concede a goal under Jurgen Klopp so far this season and central defender Van Dijk has been a leading figure at the heart of the defence.
Watford's three-goal midfielder Roberto Pereyra is a worthy nominee for the award after scoring some brilliant goals as the Hornets maintain a 100 per cent record in the Premier League.
Manchester City full-back Benjamin Mendy and Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge make the six-man list.
