The six-man list highlights a campaign shaped by tactical evolution, surprise breakthroughs, and renewed title battles across England’s top flight.

Guardiola and Arteta headline the list

Pep Guardiola leads the nominations once again after steering Manchester City through another demanding title challenge, as he targets a sixth Manager of the Season crown.

Close behind is Mikel Arteta, who has kept Arsenal firmly in the title conversation as they continue their push to end a 22-year wait for the Premier League trophy.

Carrick earns breakthrough recognition

One of the standout stories of the season is Michael Carrick, whose mid-season appointment at Manchester United sparked a dramatic turnaround. His influence has helped United secure a return to UEFA Champions League qualification places, earning him a surprise but deserved nomination.

Surprise packages and rising coaches

Andoni Iraola is also recognised after guiding AFC Bournemouth into contention for European qualification, powered by an impressive unbeaten run that has defined their season.

Elsewhere, Keith Andrews is nominated following an impressive debut campaign with Brentford, while Régis Le Bris earns praise for steering Sunderland A.F.C. into the top half of the table after their promotion.

The winner will be decided through a combination of fan voting and a panel of football experts, with debate already intensifying over whether experience, tactical brilliance, or overachievement should carry the most weight in this season’s decision.

The conversation took place on Episode 1 of The Link Up, a chat show hosted by Arsenal F.C., where Saka sat down with the “Try Me” hitmaker for a casual discussion about music, creativity, and personal influences.

While speaking about her early journey in music, Tems revealed that she began singing at a very young age. The singer, born in June 1995 and now 30, shared that she began developing her musical talent when she was just nine years old.

Curious about her inspirations at the time, Saka asked the singer about the artists she admired growing up.

He said, “You said you were nine when you started singing, did you have any idols at that time or singers you loved.”

Tems responded, “I loved Celine Dion.”

Saka reacted, “I don’t know who that is.”

The response immediately caught Tems off guard, prompting a visibly shocked reaction from the singer.

Tems reacts shockingly, “You don’t know who Celine Dion is?

She added, “Ahh Ahhh.”

Saka asked, “Is that bad.”

Tems said, “Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.”

Trying to confirm the name he had just heard, Saka asked again, “Celine Dion?”

Tems pronounces the name properly by saying “Celine Dion.”

Tems uttered “Ahhhaah ohhhh.”

Still unsure, the England international then turned toward someone behind the camera for confirmation.

Saka asked someone behind the scenes, “You know who that is?” and by extension everyone bursted into laughter.

The clip quickly circulated online, sparking a wave of reactions from fans who found the moment both amusing and surprising, especially given Dion’s legendary status in global music.

A quick check also shows that Saka, who was born on September 5, 2001, is currently 24 years old — a detail many fans pointed out while debating whether his unfamiliarity with the iconic singer could simply be a generational gap.

As usual, the draw has delivered a familiar mix of giant clashes, tricky away trips, and classic cup narratives. Arsenal and Chelsea were both handed ties against Football League opposition, while Liverpool could be set for a heavyweight Premier League showdown with Brighton & Hove Albion, but only if they first navigate their third-round encounter with Barnsley on Monday night.

Arsenal had to dig deep themselves in the previous round, surviving a stern test from Championship side Portsmouth before sealing progression. Their reward is a meeting with Wigan Athletic, the 2013 FA Cup winners who know all too well how to spring surprises in this competition.

Chelsea, meanwhile, began life under Liam Rosenior in emphatic fashion with a commanding win over Charlton Athletic. Fate then added an interesting twist, pairing the Blues with Hull City, Rosenior’s former club.

The headline fairy tale from the third round belonged to Macclesfield. The sixth-tier side—only purchased off Rightmove in 2020, produced one of the shocks of the season by convincingly dumping out defending champions Crystal Palace. Their reward? Another crack at top-flight opposition, this time against Brentford, as their remarkable cup journey continues.

Not everyone enjoyed a smooth passage. Manchester United were among the biggest names to exit the competition, falling to Brighton in a bruising third-round defeat at Old Trafford. Brighton’s prize for that upset is a fourth-round tie against either Liverpool or Barnsley, setting up the possibility of another major scalp.

Elsewhere, there are several eye-catching fixtures across the draw, with Premier League sides facing stern tests and lower-league teams dreaming of another famous night.

2025–26 FA Cup Fourth Round Draw

• Liverpool or Barnsley vs Brighton & Hove Albion
• Stoke City vs Fulham

On the other side of the draw, holders Newcastle United will battle Manchester City for a place at Wembley.

The semifinal match-ups were confirmed shortly after Newcastle sealed a dramatic quarterfinal victory over Fulham at St James’ Park. The Magpies needed a late moment of magic to progress, with academy graduate Lewis Miley firing home a stoppage-time winner to keep their title defence alive.

Chelsea were the first side to secure a semifinal ticket earlier in the week, edging past League One side Cardiff City with a 3–1 victory in south Wales. Despite dominating much of the contest, the Blues had to be patient before eventually pulling clear late in the game.

They were later joined by Manchester City, who brushed aside Brentford 2–0 on Wednesday night. A spectacular strike from Rayan Cherki set Pep Guardiola’s men on their way. City, who famously won the competition four consecutive times between the 2017–18 and 2020–21 seasons, are still chasing their first Carabao Cup triumph since that historic run ended.

Arsenal and Crystal Palace remain the only sides yet to complete their quarterfinal fixture, but both were included in the draw. Their tie, scheduled for the Emirates Stadium, was pushed back until next week due to fixture congestion.

In keeping with tradition, the Carabao Cup semifinals will be played over two legs, with the first matches taking place in January and the return fixtures set for February 2026.

Holders Crystal Palace will begin their title defence with what looks like a fairytale clash, drawing non-league Macclesfield in a matchup that embodies everything magical about the competition.

Elsewhere, the draw delivered heavyweight meetings that will immediately test the resolve of some Premier League giants. Manchester United were handed a tricky home tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, a team that hasn’t exactly been shy in Manchester in recent seasons.

For Ruben Amorim and his men, it’s an opportunity to bury the sting of their shocking Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town, but Brighton’s growing confidence makes this anything but straightforward.

Over in north London, Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa stands out as one of the most eye-catching pairings of the round. Unai Emery’s Villa have been a thorn in the side of top teams, and a trip to face Spurs sets the stage for one of the round’s most tightly balanced encounters.

Some of England’s other big sides will be packing their bags for potentially awkward away days. Arsenal are off to Fratton Park for a gritty meeting with Championship side Portsmouth, a ground known for its old-school intensity. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain in the capital but still face a stern test as they cross London to take on Charlton Athletic.

At Anfield, Arne Slot’s under-pressure Liverpool have been paired with League One’s Barnsley, a team with a history of causing trouble for bigger clubs in this tournament. The champions of England, Manchester City, are set to welcome Exeter City to the Etihad, a tie that looks straightforward on paper but will still require focus.

Two all-Premier League battles add further spice to the mix. Everton face high-flying Sunderland at Goodison Park, while Newcastle United will host Bournemouth in what many are already calling the “Eddie Howe Derby.”

All fixtures are scheduled to take place across the weekend of January 9 to 12, when the country’s oldest cup competition once again delivers its unique blend of hope, heartbreak, and giant-killing potential.

The encounter wasn’t just about points in the group stage; it carried the weight of history. Bayern Munich entered the game as favourites, undefeated in their last ten meetings with Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta’s side had other plans.

Both teams, leading their domestic leagues, were eager to assert themselves on Europe’s biggest stage, and the game delivered every ounce of intensity fans could hope for.

From the first whistle, the match was electric, filled with high-pressure moments, tactical chess moves, and flashes of individual brilliance.

• Set-Pieces: Arsenal’s Secret Weapon

The Premier League leaders are among Europe’s most lethal teams when it comes to set-pieces. Their expertise was on full display when Jurrien Timber opened the scoring with a precise header off a corner, giving Arsenal the early edge.

• Manuel Neuer: Not Immune to Mistakes

Even one of the world’s best goalkeepers can falter. Neuer, the German stalwart, made a series of solid early saves, but an attempted sweeper play backfired, paving the way for Arsenal’s third goal.

• Noni Madueke Shines

Mikel Arteta’s tactical decisions proved decisive. Noni Madueke, brought on to replace the injured Leandro Trossard, justified his selection with a perfect finish from Riccardo Calafiori’s cross, helping to seal the Gunners’ lead.

• Mikel Arteta: Mastermind

The Arsenal manager’s substitutions and tactical tweaks were pivotal. Madueke, Calafiori, and Martinelli all contributed crucially to securing the three points, keeping Arsenal’s 100% record intact.

Champions League Dreams Alive

With this win, Arsenal not only remain top of their group but also emulate a feat they last achieved in 2005-06, the season they reached their only Champions League final.

A perfect five wins from five matches signal that the Gunners are serious contenders this season, and fans worldwide are daring to dream that this could finally be the year they lift Europe’s most coveted club trophy.

Arsenal now sits firmly at the summit of the Champions League, with a perfect record, one step closer to guaranteed qualification for the knockout rounds and closer than ever to etching their name in football history.

Arsenal continued their flawless Champions League run on Wednesday night, delivering a dominant 3–1 win over Bayern Munich at a buzzing Emirates Stadium, a result that fired them to the top of the league-phase standings.

Still riding the high from their emphatic victory over Tottenham in the north London derby just days earlier, Mikel Arteta’s men showed no signs of slowing down. Instead, they put on another commanding performance that reinforced why many now see them as genuine European heavyweights.

Arsenal drew first blood when Jurrien Timber rose tallest to nod in a Bukayo Saka corner, sending the home fans into an early frenzy. Bayern responded through 17-year-old Lennart Karl, whose well-taken goal silenced the stadium briefly and ensured the first half ended level.

But after the break, it was all Arsenal.

Relentless pressure from a string of set-piece opportunities finally paid off, courtesy of the substitutes’ bench. Riccardo Calafiori delivered a wicked cross into the box, and Noni Madueke, making the most of his early introductio,n fired home his first goal for the club.

While former Tottenham star Harry Kane struggled badly on the ground, where he has historically haunted Arsenal, failing to register a single shot, the Gunners turned the screw even further.

Their third goal was vintage Arsenal: a blistering counterattack. Eberechi Eze, fresh off his derby hat-trick heroics, released Gabriel Martinelli, who raced past Manuel Neuer, knocked the ball beyond the veteran keeper, and tapped into an empty net a perfect way to mark his return after a month on the sidelines.

By full-time, Arsenal looked every bit worthy of their two-goal cushion. Although Karl’s earlier strike denied them another Champions League clean sheet, the Gunners’ fifth straight win now puts them three points clear of Paris Saint-Germain.

Next up is a tricky Premier League clash away at Chelsea on Sunday, where Arsenal will try to stretch their six-point lead at the top of the table as their hunt for trophies continues on all fronts.

The only sour note from the night was the early injury to Leandro Trossard, who was forced off for Madueke. Still, fans were given something to smile about with the late return of captain Martin Ødegaard, back in action after recovering from a knee problem.

Arsenal’s momentum doesn’t appear to be slowing — and Europe is watching.

Only one perfect record remains…

Aston Villa’s Matty Cash was instrumental in his team’s October revival, producing match-winning moments at both ends of the pitch. His second goal of the season came in a statement win over Manchester City, following a decisive assist in the victory against Tottenham.

At Newcastle, Bruno Guimarães once again showed why he’s the heartbeat of Eddie Howe’s midfield. His long-range stunner against Nottingham Forest and a last-gasp winner versus Fulham ensured the Magpies’ steady climb up the table.

Erling Haaland, last month’s Player of the Month, continues to be a force of nature. Three goals in three games brought his total to 11 for the campaign — a figure that dwarfs his teammates’ combined tally. Few would bet against him doubling up on the award.

Over at Bournemouth, 19-year-old Junior Kroupi enjoyed a breakout month. The summer signing announced himself with a brace on his first Premier League start against Crystal Palace, then added another goal against Nottingham Forest to push the Cherries up to second place.

Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo has been a revelation under Ruben Amorim. With three goals and an assist, he led the Red Devils to a flawless October — their best run in months — and reignited belief among fans at Old Trafford.

For Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland’s surprise summer signing, October was about dominance and discipline. His defensive prowess was key to the Black Cats’ resilience, while his long throws caused chaos in opposing boxes — not to mention his crucial goal against Wolves.

Igor Thiago continued his hot streak for Brentford, adding two more goals to his tally and climbing to second in the Golden Boot race. His powerful display against West Ham and clinical penalty against Liverpool kept the Bees buzzing.

Finally, Jurriën Timber’s influence at Arsenal cannot be overstated. The Dutchman has reinvented himself as one of the league’s most consistent full-backs, anchoring a Gunners defence that didn’t concede a single goal all month — a record-breaking feat.

October 2025 Premier League Manager of the Month Nominees

• Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)
• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
• Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)

Manchester United’s new boss, Ruben Amorim, makes his first appearance on the shortlist after guiding his side to three straight wins over Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton. The Portuguese tactician seems to be settling in fast, blending energy, structure, and attacking flair.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta continues to mastermind Arsenal’s push for the title. The Gunners finished October unbeaten, boasting the tightest defence in the league and holding a four-point lead at the top of the table.

For Unai Emery, the turnaround at Aston Villa has been remarkable. After a shaky start to the season, his side produced a perfect month — taking down Burnley, Tottenham, and even champions Manchester City — to surge back into form.

And then there’s Andoni Iraola, the architect of Bournemouth’s fairytale rise. The Cherries ended October sitting second in the Premier League, with wins over Fulham and Forest, plus a gutsy draw against Crystal Palace.

The announcement came on Tuesday, with the Premier League side confirming the Frenchman’s new contract.

According to reports, the 24-year-old defender has agreed to a five-year deal that runs until 2030, replacing his previous contract that was set to expire in 2027. Despite rumoured interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid, Saliba’s decision to stay was widely expected given his growing influence in Mikel Arteta’s team.

The centre-back first joined Arsenal in 2019 but spent time on loan in France before breaking into the Gunners’ first XI during the 2022/23 campaign. Since then, he has been a pillar at the heart of defence, helping the side secure three consecutive second-place finishes in the Premier League.

Speaking after signing, Saliba said, “I feel at home. We have a good team, we have a good squad, we have good staff. The coach is perfect for me, so it’s the best place to be. I enjoy every day when I have the chance to wear this shirt. I try to give everything, and now I’ll give even more to this club and to the fans.”

Manager Mikel Arteta was equally full of praise for his defender, noting not just his quality on the pitch but also his character: “William is loved by all the players and staff, and that speaks volumes about his character, commitment and attitude every day. Since joining us, William has grown so much, embraced responsibility, and has created a strong connection with our supporters and everyone at the club.”

As things stand, Arsenal are second in the Premier League table, two points behind leaders Liverpool after six matches—a reminder that with Saliba at the back, the Gunners’ ambitions remain firmly set on challenging for silverware.

Top Premier League clubs, including defending champions Newcastle United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, were all in action in the third round this week as the competition heated up.

The highlight of the round was Alexander Isak finding the net for the first time in a Liverpool jersey.

In what has become the fairytale of this season’s tournament, League Two side Grimsby Town extended its remarkable run. Fresh from their dramatic elimination of Manchester United in the second round via a penalty shootout, they edged Sheffield Wednesday to secure a place in the last 16.

Some Premier League outfits, however, bowed out earlier than expected. Everton, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and Burnley all suffered exits in the third round, leaving the field wide open for both underdogs and heavyweights.

The draw has now thrown up some intriguing fixtures, with Newcastle United set to face Tottenham Hotspur, while Liverpool will battle Crystal Palace. Arsenal will square up against Brighton, and Manchester City head to Wales to meet Swansea City.
