Premier League announces nominees for Player and Manager of the Month for January

As another month comes to an end, the Premier League has officially revealed the nominees for the Player and Manager of the Month awards for January.

Details: The nominees for the best player award are:

• Phil Foden (Manchester City)
• Cody Gakpo (Liverpool)
• Dean Huijsen and Justin Kluivert (both Bournemouth)
• Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
• Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
• Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

For the Manager of the Month award, the four nominees are:

• Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Eddie Howe (Newcastle)
• Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)

Meanwhile, an independent regulatory commission has reviewed and upheld Arsenal’s appeal regarding the red card and suspension of Ethan Nwaneri-Lewis-Skelly. His three-match ban has been overturned.

Recall. Notably, Michael Oliver previously issued a controversial second yellow card to Leandro Trossard in the first-round clash against Manchester City. That decision sparked heated debates online, with many fans calling Oliver's ruling "absurd."
