Premier League announce nominees for Player, Manager of the Month for February 2024
The previous month was dominated by Liverpool, with Diogo Jota winning the POTM prize and Jurgen Klopp securing the MOTM award
The Premier League has revealed the shortlists for the Player of the Month and Manager of the Month awards for February 2024.
The previous month was dominated by Liverpool, with Diogo Jota winning the POTM prize and Jurgen Klopp securing the MOTM award. However, neither of them has made it onto February's shortlist.
Premier League Player of the Month Shortlist - February 2024:
Phil Foden (Man City)
Joao Gomes (Wolves)
Pascal Gross (Brighton)
Rasmus Hojlund (Man Utd)
Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham)
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Phil Foden played every minute of Manchester City's five games in February and ended with a commendable four goals to his name. On the other side of the city, Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund is among the favourites after scoring five goals and providing an assist in four games.
Surprisingly, neither player was the top scorer in February. That honour goes to Bukayo Saka, who scored six goals in four games, making it a perfect month for Arsenal.
Rodrigo Muniz netted four goals in just 329 minutes of action for Fulham, while Ollie Watkins continued his outstanding form with another four goals and two assists.
Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes makes the cut after shining in wins over both Chelsea and Tottenham and leading the league in tackles. Pascal Gross of Brighton is also up for the prize, with four assists and a goal to his name.
Premier League Manager of the Month Shortlist - February 2024:
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
Erik ten Hag (Man Utd)
Pep Guardiola (Man City)
Only three managers are up for the award this month. We start with Mikel Arteta, whose Arsenal side had a perfect winning record in February, beating Liverpool, West Ham United, Burnley, and Newcastle United, scoring 18 times and conceding just twice.
Erik ten Hag is up for his second award of the season. November's winner oversaw three wins from four games as Manchester United clawed their way back into the race for the top four, securing significant wins over Aston Villa and West Ham United.
Rounding things out is Pep Guardiola. Manchester City won more points than any other side in February, playing five games to pick up 13 points, with a 1-1 draw with Chelsea being the only blemish on an otherwise perfect record.
