Bookies have completely changed the betting market for the Premier League Playmaker of the Season award following the injury to Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne.
KDB started the season off as the heavy favourite at 7/4 but following his injury there are now three players sharing favouritism at the top of the betting market to win the award.

What the expert says...
Kevin De Bruyne was favourite but has since drifted to 16/1 following big injury
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was just 7/4 to win the trophy this year in what would be the fourth year in a row but injury sees him ruled out until after Christmas.
De Bruyne started City's opening game against Burnley but suffered a reoccurrence of the injury he sustained in the Champions League Final last season after just 20 minutes of the opening match of this campaign.
Following that injury the Belgian superstar had surgery on his hamstring with manager Pep Guardiola ruling him out for many months and that has seen his odds drift right out to 16/1 to win Player of the Season this year.
Erling Haaland favourite for the Premier League Golden Boot this season
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is the favourite to win the Golden Boot this season after starting the campaign in more of the same form as last year.
The Norwegian striker is already a heavy favourite at 4/11 to win the award this season with the closest competitor being Liverpool's Mo Salah at 12/1.
Haaland has scored 3 goals in the first 3 games of the Premier League season after scoring away at Sheffield United on Sunday following a penalty miss too to prove he is human after all.
| Premier League Top Goalscorer 23/24 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Erling Haaland | 4/11 | 73.3% |
| Mohamed Salah
|
12/1 | 7.7% |
| Darwin Nunez
|
25/1 | 3.8% |
| Alexander Isak | 33/1 | 2.9% |
| Marcus Rashford | 33/1 | 2.9% |
