AFTER GARETH BALE’S incredible display against West Ham last Monday, some critics began to consider him a contender for the Premier League Player of the Season award.

However today, Luis Suarez reaffirmed his credentials with a clinical hat-trick in Liverpool’s comfortable victory over Wigan.

Robin van Persie, meanwhile, though he perhaps hasn’t been as prominent as Bale and Suarez of late, has continually dazzled with his performances since joining Manchester United.

Therefore, we’re asking: who deserves to be given the top gong come awards season?

Van Persie’s goals have earned his team more points than any other player in the league, so does he deserve to triumph on that basis?

Bale, on the other hand, has racked up the goals, despite the ostensible disadvantage of invariably playing in a less advanced role than Suarez and RVP.

Or maybe you think Suarez is the worthy winner, given that he currently has more goals than any other Premier League player this season?
