De Bruyne has once again shined for Manchester City in this season's Premier League. Foden meanwhile has moved from strength-to-strength again for Pep Guardiola.
Both men faced stiff competition for their respective rewards with Liverpool's Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold also among the shortlisted candidates. However the league leader's top performers managed to grab the accolades.
