Eddie Howe Premier League Manager of the Month award – Hammering Villa takes NUFC boss over the line

Eddie Howe went into the weekend, with a great chance of picking up his second Premier League Manager of the Month award as boss of Newcastle United.

The first four weeks of October 2022 seeing Newcastle United play five league matches, winning four and drawing at Old Trafford.

With Eddie Howe potentially set to win his fifth Premier League Manager of the Month award, having already previously won in March 2017, January 2018, October 2018 and February 2022. If he does make it five, Howe will go level with the likes of Kevin Keegan (see below).

After Saturday’s matches, including the battering Newcastle gave Villa, this is how it now looks for the leading contenders for the October 2022 Premier League Manager of the Month award:

16 points – Eddie Howe (Newcastle United)

Fulham 1 Newcastle 4, Newcastle 5 Brentford 1, Man Utd 0 Newcastle 0, Newcastle 1 Everton 0, Tottenham 1 Newcastle 2, Newcastle 4 Aston Villa 0

(Remaining October matches – None)

Man City 6 Man Utd 3, Man City 4 Southampton 0, Liverpool 1 Man City 0, Man City 3 Brighton 1, Leicester 0 Man City 1

Most times, the Premier League Manager of the Month usually is the PL boss who has picked up the most points.

With 16 points, currently four more than anybody else, Eddie Howe has surely sealed it with that demolition of Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are the ones who could get closest, if beating Forest today they would have 13 points from a possible 15.

However, surely 16 from a possible 18 trumps that.

Plus, Eddie Howe has seen his team score 16 goals in October and only concede three, whilst Arteta’s Arsenal have scored eight and conceded four, with today’s match to come.
