Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier and head coach Eddie Howe have been nominated for the Premier League's player and manager of the month awards respectively for November/December. Joe Willock’s winning goal against Chelsea and Miguel Almiron’s strike against Leicester City have also been nominated for the goal of the month award.

The Magpies enjoyed a fine run of form either side of the World Cup break with wins against Southampton, Chelsea and Leicester City as well as a 0-0 draw against Leeds United.

Howe’s side also kept clean sheets in three of the matches with Trippier providing assists in the 4-1 win at Southampton and 3-0 victory at Leicester on Boxing Day. It is the second time both Howe and Trippier have been nominated for the monthly award. Howe picked up October’s manager of the month award after helping United pick up 16 points out of a possible 18 during the month.

Trippier was nominated for the player of the month award in October but lost out to Newcastle team-mate Almiron. The right-back has been shortlisted for the award once again alongside Manchester United duo Casemiro and Marcus Rashford as well as Manchester City's Erling Haaland, Arsenal pair Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, Brentford's Ben Mee and Fulham’s João Palhinha.

Howe will be looking to pick up his sixth manager of the month award and third since arriving at Newcastle last November. He has been nominated alongside Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp.

Almiron will be looking to pick up his third Premier League goal of the month award out of five having already won for his volley at Fulham earlier this season and fine effort against Crystal Palace in April. His well-worked team goal at Leicester gained plenty of plaudits as did the strike he set up for Joe Willock against Chelsea in November.

Willock latched onto Almiron’s run to curl a 20-yard first-timed effort into the top right corner to secure a 1-0 win.
