Burnley's Sean Dyche in contention for Premier League Manager of the Month award

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has been nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Month award for October.

Dyche has recently been linked with the vacant position at Everton, but the 46-year-old continues to keep Burnley in the top half of the standings after an impressive start to the campaign.

During October, the Clarets registered seven points from four games, with their only defeat coming at the Etihad Stadium against leaders Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola is favourite for the accolade after leading City three wins throughout the month, although Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger have also put together a fine run of results.

Spurs suffered just one defeat in three - away at Manchester United - while the Gunners claimed wins in three of their four matches.
