Pep Guardiola has been named Premier League Manager of the Month for September after guiding Manchester City to the top of the table.

Guardiola's men currently top the standings on goal difference, just above local rivals Manchester United, having made an impressive start to the season.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has his side playing some scintillating football and they won all four of their Premier League matches in September, scoring 17 goals in the process.
