Tottenham midfielders Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen have been shortlisted for December's Premier League Player of the Month award.

Two Chelsea players have also been nominated for the accolade with Diego Costa and Gary Cahill both vying to be recognised for their recent individual performances.

Arsenal's sole representative is Alexis Sanchez, having scored four goals in five appearances during the final month of 2016.

Liverpool's Adam Lallana and Manchester United pair Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic complete the shortlist, which is sure to divide opinion among fans.

Chelsea's winning streak may have been ended by Spurs on Wednesday night but Antonio Conte's players were flawless throughout December.

Tottenham's thrilling 2-0 victory over the Blues will be fresh in the memory of supporters but it will not be taken into account for the award.

Conte and Costa won the player and manager awards for November but both men face a battle to retain their crowns this time around with the Italian coach shortlised alongside Mauricio Pochettino for the latest managerial gong.

Full shortlist for December's Premier League Player of the Moth award:

Liverpool: Adam Lallana

Arsenal: Alexis Sanchez

Tottenham: Christian Eriksen

Tottenham: Dele Alli

Chelsea: Diego Costa

Chelsea: Gary Cahill

Manchester United: Paul Pogba

Manchester United: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
