Stars of the Premier League took to the red carpet ahead of the Professional Footballers Association's annual award ceremony on Tuesday.
After taking their battle for the title to the final day last season, players from Manchester City and Arsenal entered with hopes of securing some of the game's most prestigious individual honours.
Taking place at the historic Opera House theatre in Manchester, the event was hosted by Alex Scott and Jules Breach.
After following up his extraordinary debut campaign with yet another prolific campaign at the Etihad, Erling Haaland entered the event as one of the favourites to retain his PFA Players' Player of the Year award.
The Norwegian striker donned a black suit for the event and was joined on the red carpet by his partner, footballer Isabel Haugseng Johansen.

Ultimately though, Haaland was pipped to the prize by his city team-mate Phil Foden who served as the club's primary creative outlet as they secured a historic fourth-consecutive top flight title success.
In doing so, Foden joins an elite group to have claimed the top prize after previously being named the Young Player of the Year, having done so for both the 2020-21 and the 2021-22 campaigns.
The award marks yet more recognition of the 24-year-old's extraordinary performances as he also was named the Premier League Player of the Season and won the Football Writers' Association's Footballer of the Year.
Also shortlisted for the prize were Rodri, Martin Odegaard, Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins.
After an incredible breakout campaign at Chelsea last season, where he netted 22 Premier League goals and notched 11 assists Palmer was named the PFA Young Player of the Year.
While they were unable to secure a first Premier League title in two decades by the narrowest of margins Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side were well-represented in the PFA Team of the Year.
David Raya, William Salbia, Gabriel, Declan Rice and Gunners' captain Martin Odegaard were all named in the XI.
They were joined in the side by City stars Kyle Walker, Rodri, Foden and Haaland, with Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and Aston Villa striker Watkins completing the team.
