Unai Emery has been nominated for April’s Premier League Manager of the Month award.

The Aston Villa head coach oversaw a run of five wins and one draw from Villa’s seven matches last month, amassing 16 points from a possible 21.

It was part of a stunning 10-match unbeaten sequence which started in mid-February and included five successive league wins.

Emery’s nomination comes after the Spaniard was also in the running for the Premier League award for both March and January.
