Sanchez, Coutinho and Terry all feature in our Premier League team of the season

The Professional Footballers’ Association will announce its team of the 2014-15 season at its annual awards ceremony in London on Sunday. Ahead of that, Press Association’s Chief Sports Reporter Martyn Ziegler picks his best XI, using a 4-3-3 formation. Tom Heaton (Burnley) (Martin Rickett/PA) Some 108 saves already this season, 26 more than Manchester United’s David de Gea and nearly twice as many as Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois. One-third of Burnley’s 26 points are probably down to him. Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea) (Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP) A Mourinho marvel who has been a relentlessly strong presence at right-back. John Terry (Chelsea) (Bogdan Maran/AP) A remarkable season from the 34-year-old, who just loves playing for Jose Mourinho, with a handy return of goals too. Jose Fonte (Southampton) (John Walton/PA) Those who expected Saints to crumble this season reckoned without the fortitude of their inspirational Portuguese captain. Ryan Bertrand (Southampton) (Adam Davy/PA) England’s FIFTH choice at left-back but he has been in the meanest defence in the Premier League. Good going forward too. Eden Hazard (Chelsea) (Adam Davy/PA) So good that at times he has been almost unplayable – the best player in the Premier League this season. Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) (Bogdan Maran/AP) A stunning first season in England, he has propelled the Gunners to the brink of their best year since the Invincibles. Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool) (Jon Super/AP) Liverpool have struggled without Luis Suarez, but the one ray of light has been the prowess of their young Brazilian. Harry Kane (Tottenham) (Owen Humphreys/PA) Could be the first English striker since 2000 to finish as the Premier League’s top goalscorer. Diego Costa (Chelsea) (Mike Egerton/EMPICS Sport) Mean, moody and often magnificent for Chelsea. Imagine if he had not had hamstring problems. Charlie Austin (QPR) (Daniel Hambury/PA) To score 17 goals in a side threatened with relegation is some feat – and is nearly twice as many as the raved-about Danny Ings.
