The shortlist for the Premier League Manager of the Season has been unveiled.

There are six names on the list, along with a few notable absences that fans have noticed.

The likes of Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta lead the way, along with Newcastle United's Eddie Howe.

Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton, Unai Emery of Aston Villa, and Marco Silva of Fulham are also nominated.

The surprising absences include Erik ten Hag of Manchester United, who has revived a club that looked dead in the water last season.

Another who is shockingly absent is Gary O'Neil, who took over from Scott Parker at Bournemouth and has ensured the club is safe from relegation.
