WHAT HAPPENED?

Guardiola has already won the award four times in his career, including last season, while Klopp has picked up the gong on two occasions. Arteta has yet to win but is a strong contender with his Arsenal team top of the table heading into the final weeks of the season. Meanwhile, Iraola has steered Bournemouth out of the drop zone and into the top half, while Emery's side sit fourth and could be playing Champions League football next season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Bournemouth failed to find a win in their first nine games of the season. Iraola's side finally picked up all three points against Burnley on October 23rd.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Premier League resumes at the weekend with all five managers and their teams back in action. Arteta and Klopp will continue to battle it out for the title, as City face Fulham and Arsenal head to Manchester United. Meanwhile, Liverpool face Aston Villa on Monday with Emery's side able to secure a top-four finish if results go in their favour.
