    Premier League reveals April Manager of the Month nominees

    Five managers have been shortlisted by the Premier League for the Barclays Manager of the Month award for April.

    Unai Emery, Pep Guardiola, Roy Hodgson, Eddie Howe and Gary O’Neil have all been nominated in recognition of their teams’ positive results over the past four weeks or so.

    Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, is a strong favourite to win the award after leading the Villains to five victories and a tie until Sunday’s loss at Manchester United.

    Manchester City under Guardiola are in charge of the title fight, and the Catalan’s contribution has been acknowledged. City overtook league leaders Arsenal, who are currently one point behind after playing one more game, thanks to five victories in five games.

    Hodgson’s return to Crystal Palace has been almost too good to believe, guiding the Eagles away from the relegation zone with four wins from six games, playing some fantastic football in the process.

    Howe’s Newcastle, who earned 18 out of a possible 21 points in April, are about to announce the return of Champions League football at St James’ Park. The 6-1 demolition of Tottenham was one particularly noteworthy victory.

    With key victories over Leicester, Spurs, Southampton, and Leeds, O’Neil has guided Bournemouth away from relegation concerns and into the security of mid-table.

    Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, who has won the award four times this season, was not included on the shortlist. Six points were earned by his Arsenal team in five April contests.
