Guardiola, Arteta Lead Premier League Manager Of The Season Shortlist
Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Andoni Iraola, Mikel Arteta and Unai Emery are the five managers selected for the Premier League's manager of the season award.
Guardiola and Klopp have shared the award between them in each of the last six seasons, with the Spaniard winning it four times.
Guardiola is hoping to lead Manchester City to a fourth straight Premier League title this season which will brighten his chances of claiming another manager's award.
Klopp's Liverpool have seen their title aspirations evaporate into thin air in recent weeks but the German, who will leave Anfield at the end of the season, has his side in third place.
Arteta has once again pushed Guardiola and Manchester City all the way this term, and his Arsenal side still lead the table by a point, having played a game more than their nearest challengers.
Emery has galvanised Aston Villa since his appointment in late 2022 and is almost certain of sealing fourth spot going into this weekend's fixtures.
In his first season in English football, Spaniard Iraola has implented an impressive playing style at Bournemouth, with the Cherries sitting comfortably in 10th position.
