Supporters have until Monday to cast their votes for their favourite among Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, David Moyes and Ange Postecoglou.
Mikel Arteta – Arsenal
Arteta’s Arsenal side have come out of the gates strongly, signalling their intent for a title challenge this season after their battle with Manchester City last term.
The team boasts an unbeaten record in August, with notable victories over Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace and a draw against Fulham.
Arteta has previously clinched this award on six occasions and will be gunning for his seventh.
Pep Guardiola – Manchester City
Fresh from being crowned the 2022/23 Barclays Manager of the Season, Man City have once again asserted their dominance in the Premier League.
A flawless record in August, with wins over Burnley, Newcastle United and Sheffield United, they have started their title defence in style.
