Sean Dyche is one of four Premier League bosses nominated for October’s Manager of the Month award.

The Burnley manager, who has been linked heavily with the Everton job following the departure of Ronald Koeman, led his side to two wins and a draw last month.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City remain at the top of the league, the only unbeaten side after their three wins with an impressive tally of 13 goals last month.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino steered his team to two wins out of three, including a 4-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger completes the shortlist of nominees, having collected nine points from four games.

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne is one of six nominees for Player of the Month.

The Belgium star has been one of the important figures throughout City's victories, providing three assists and having a pass completion rate of 90%.

De Bruyne is joined by City teammate Leroy Sane, as well as Wilfried Zaha and Glenn Murray.

Leroy Sane has had an impressive month for his side, scoring a goal in each of their three games and adding three assists.

October has been the best month for Crystal Palace's players so far this season, but none better than for winger Wilfried Zaha who scored the winning goal in the victory over Chelsea and a last-minute equaliser in the comeback to West Ham.

Brighton striker Glenn Murray was the top scorer for the Seagulls in October, scoring twice in the 3-0 win over West Ham and the equaliser against Southampton.

Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal and Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope are also in contention for the monthly award.

Monreal has been involved in key moments in Arsenal's wins, scoring twice and creating six chances last month.

Burnley's Nick Pope has become the regular 'keeper since Tom Heaton dislocated his shoulder, and the understudy kept two clean sheets in October.'
