#3 Bernardo Silva

November has been a good month so far for the defending Premier League champions, Manchester City. They have managed to keep two clean sheets, one of which came against local rivals Manchester United.

Bernardo Silva has become a pivotal figure in Pep's system once again, of late. The Portuguese has found a good rhythm of form and has scored two-in-two in November's Premier League matches.

Silva managed to score from a near-impossible angle in the Manchester derby to extend Manchester City's lead. His goal against Everton played a similar role as Manchester City won two matches, 2-0 and 3-0, respectively.


#2 Joao Cancelo

The left-back position has been a worry for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, but he seems to have found a solution in Joao Cancelo.

The Portuguese, who is originally a right-back, has made the transition seem frictionless and is now an important figure in Manchester City's starting eleven.

In the Manchester derby, Cancelo had the most critical say as it was his attempted cross that was spurned into his net by Eric Bailly. Cancelo also assisted an intriguing goal from Bernardo Silva in the exact match.

Against Everton, he assisted Raheem Sterling's opening goal. Cancelo has not only made offensive contributions but has looked extremely solid defensively as well.

With Manchester City winning both matches comfortably, Cancelo will be looking to make more telling contributions to help Manchester's blue side retain the Premier League trophy.

It now remains to be seen how he will perform in the remaining Premier League games in November. Undoubtedly, a solid performance will galvanize his claim for the player of the month award.


#1 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool suffered a shocking 3-2 loss against West Ham earlier in November, which significantly dented their push to become Premier League leaders.

Although he looked defensively shaky, Trent Alexander-Arnold looked like he wanted to spoil the party for West Ham during that game.

Alexander-Arnold scored the equalizer from an exquisite free-kick before assisting Origi's goal, but it wasn't enough. There were no defensive jitters on Matchday 12 of the Premier League as Liverpool swept away Arsenal by a margin of four goals to nil.

Not only was Alexander-Arnold defensively solid, but he also notched up a pair of assists. He is definitely the leading candidate for the Premier League player of the month award this month.
