Steven Gerrard is the only non-Manchester United candidate up for the prestigious PFA Player of the Year award.
The shortlist sees Cristiano Ronaldo defend his title, with team-mates Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Edwin van der Sar also in the mix.
Ronaldo would become the first man to lift the trophy three years running, but faces stiff competition from his defence after United set a new record for clean sheets in the Premier League.
The league leaders also have two contenders to be crowned Young Player of the Year in Jonny Evans and Rafael Da Silva.
Aston Villa pair Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young both make the final six, with Tottenham's Aaron Lennon and Manchester City’s Stephen Ireland also in the frame.
The award winners, which will be unveiled on April 26, are voted for by their fellow professionals.
But with the vote cast earlier in the season, the result could look embarrassing should Liverpool or Chelsea scoop the title.
Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson was left disappointed in 1999 when his Treble-winning players were overlooked for Tottenham's David Ginola.
