For the fifth time this campaign, Mikel Arteta has been nominated for the Premier League’s Manager of the Month award after guiding us to four wins from four in February.
It is the second successive month that Mikel has steered us to maximum points in the top-flight, but this time around his team have been on fire, netting 18 goals during the month and recording huge victories along the way.
The month began with the joyous 3-1 win against table-topping Liverpool that pulled us back into title contention, and the momentum from that saw us thrash West Ham United 6-0 and Burnley 5-0 away from home before we rounded off the month with a 4-1 success against Newcastle United.
That leaves Mikel as the only manager in the league to end February with a 100 per cent record, and he is up against two other bosses for what could be his seventh divisional monthly accolade during his time in our dugout.
His friend and rival Pep Guardiola is also nominated after guiding Manchester City to an unbeaten month with four wins and a draw, who like us conceded just twice all month. Erik ten Hag is also recognised for winning four out of five, but fell to defeat at home to Fulham in his final match of the month.
You can vote for Mikel now until midday GMT on Monday, March 4 - plus you can help Bukayo Saka win the Player of the Month prize.
