Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri and Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp are among the four nominees for the Premier League Manager of the Month award for November.
Everton manager Roberto Martinez and Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino make up the shortlist following a handful of positive results in the top flight.
Ranieri has stunned the Premier League by guiding his team to the summit after 15 games.
In November, the Foxes picked up two wins and held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium.
Klopp, who took over from Brendan Rodgers at Anfield in October, managed to recover from a defeat to Crystal Palace by romping to a 4-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium and grinding out a 1-0 win over Swansea City.
Martinez's Everton side played four top-flight games in November, picking up eight points from a possible 12, and they scored a combined 10 goals in wins over Sunderland and Aston Villa.
Tottenham have placed themselves as firm Champions League contenders as they earned wins over Aston Villa and West Ham United, while they also took a point from Arsenal and Chelsea.
The winner will be announced at 6am on Friday.
