  • Potter steered Brighton & Hove Albion to impressive 1-0 victories against Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur as they moved seven points clear of the relegation zone, with a run of just one defeat in five matches at the start of the year.
  • Arsenal was unbeaten in Premier League in January. The Spaniard Arteta guided Londoners to three victories – against Chelsea, Newcastle and Southampton, while also securing draws at home to Crystal Palace and Manchester United. The team was able to recover from a string of poor performances, and Arsenal’s problematic defense became one of the best in the league.
  • January proved to be a perfect month for Guardiola and City, with those six league wins forming part of a remarkable sequence that saw the Club claim another record in English football. Cup victories over Manchester United, Birmingham City and Cheltenham Town took their January tally of wins to nine – the most by a team in the top four tiers of English football in a single month since the formation of the Football League in 1888.
  • Moyes led West Ham United to 12 points out of a possible 15 to secure his third nomination for the award in a row, having also been shortlisted in November and December. Under the Scot, the Hammers won 1-0 at Everton on New Year’s Day, then defeated Burnley by the same scoreline at London Stadium. A 2-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion was followed by a thrilling 3-2 victory at Crystal Palace to make it four wins in a row.
