The English premier league has released its nomination list for Barclays Manager of the Month and surprisingly, Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta made the 5 – men shortlist for the award.

After leading Arsenal to a rough start in the premier league season, the Spaniard appears to have rejuvenated his team’s form by winning all of the gunners matches in the month of September.

Top analysts have predicted that Mikel Arteta would be the likely winner of the award having won all 3 matches against Norwich City, Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur. The Arsenal side had a 100% win record in September, scoring 5 goals, keeping 2 clean sheets and conceding only once in the North London derby against Tottenham.

This clean record in the month of September saw Arteta return Arsenal to the top half of the league table after a rocky start to his premier league campaign.

The Arsenal boss still has to contest against top managers like Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool, Pep Guardiola of Manchester City, Thomas Tuchel Of Chelsea, Graham Potter of Brighton & Hove Albion and Dean Smith of Aston Villa. However, Mikel Arteta is the only manager with a 100% win rate in the month of September which has been considered as an edge for him.
