Barclays Manager of the Month shortlist

Unai Emery (Aston Villa) P5 W4 D0 L1 GD+9 Emery’s Aston Villa enjoyed an impressive month, with their only defeat being a 2-1 stoppage-time loss at Manchester City. They recorded impressive home wins over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United in the race for Europe, as well as successive away clean sheets in 3-0 victories over Brighton & Hove Albion and Southampton.

Pep Guardiola (Man City) P5 W4 D1 L0 GD+8 Man City had an unbeaten April that included a big-scoring win over Crystal Palace and a victory against fellow European chasers Aston Villa. They kept three clean sheets in April, with two of those coming away from home, in a 0-0 draw at Manchester United and a 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Guardiola’s side would end the month with a dramatic stoppage-time win over Villa that leaves them fourth in the table and on course for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Eddie Howe (Newcastle) P6 W5 D0 L1 GD+12

Vitor Pereira (Wolves) P5 W5 D0 L0 GD+8 Pereira oversaw an exceptional month for Wolverhampton Wanderers as they picked up 15 points from a possible 15 to guarantee their Premier League safety. They began and ended April with clean sheets, beating West Ham United 1-0 and Leicester City 3-0 respectively. In between they beat Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur and Man Utd, with Wolves being the only team to go through April with a 100 per cent winning record.

Arne Slot (Liverpool) P5 W4 D0 L1 GD+6 It was a memorable month for Slot and Liverpool after the Dutchman led them to the Premier League title in his debut season. An emphatic 5-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur in their final match of April sealed a second Premier League title for Liverpool and a record-equalling 20th title in the top flight. The month began with a Merseyside derby win against Everton and despite a 3-2 loss at Fulham, Liverpool recovered to win their next three fixtures en route to confirming their status as champions.
