STEVEN GERRARD has joined Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City's Pep Guardiola on the nominations for November manager of the month in the Premier League.

The former Rangers boss switched back to England at the start of the month and he went on to win his first two games in charge of new club Aston Villa.

Gerrard's team started off December with a narrow defeat to Manchester City, but they competed well and were unlucky not to take a point from the clash at Villa Park.

Klopp has been nominated after guiding Liverpool to two 4-0 wins over Arsenal and Southamption. The Reds also picked up a defeat to West Ham during November.

Guardiola secured three wins from three with City in November. The Citizens are currently second behind Chelsea and picked up victories over Manchester United, Everton and West Ham throughout the month.
