Leicester and Tottenham will take time out from their Premier League title battle to scrap over the PFA Player of the Year awards on Sunday.
Foxes trio Jamie Vardy, N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez are all up for the top award along with Tottenham's Harry Kane, West Ham's Dimitri Payet and Arsenal's Mesut Ozil.
The 43rd PFA awards dinner is being held at Grosvenor House in London, but none of Spurs' players will attend the gala due to their clash with West Brom on Monday Night Football, live on Sky Sports 1HD.
It means that midfielder Dele Alli, red-hot favourite to become PFA Young Player of the Year, will not be in attendance. Neither will Kane, who is in contention to retain the junior prize he won last season and win the top accolade.
The rest of the Young Player of the Year nominees, including Everton pair Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley, Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Stoke's Jack Butland, are all expected to attend the ceremony.
The PFA will also announce the winner of the Merit Award, but it was forced to bring forward confirmation of its Divisional Teams of the Year after they were leaked on Twitter on Thursday.
Sunderland striker Beth Mead is in contention to win both the Women's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards, while Gemma Davison, Hedvig Lindahl, Ji So-Yun (all Chelsea) and Izzy Christiansen (Manchester City) have also been nominated for the senior prize.
