Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been named Manager of the Month for both November and December.

Given the lack of fixtures due to World Cup action during that period, one award was given for both months.

The Gunners managed four wins from four during that time, firming their position at the top of the Premier League.

The award has not been new to Arteta, as he won it in September and March of last season as well.

The most recent award's shortlist also included Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, and Thomas Frank of Brentford.

Arsenal take on Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.
