Manchester United's Luke Shaw and Tottenham's Son Heung-min are in a 2020-21 PFA Premier League Team of the Year dominated by Manchester City .
Six of City's Premier League-winning squad - Ederson, Joao Cancelo, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan - make the team, which is voted for by fellow players.
United's Bruno Fernandes also makes it.
Tottenham's Harry Kane and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, who scored 23 and 22 league goals respectively, are in.
Despite winning the Champions League - as well as reaching the FA Cup final and finishing fourth in the Premier League - no Chelsea players are included.
