Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has been named as the Premier League's Manager of the Month for January.

The south coast outfit have spent much of the campaign close to the relegation zone, but a four-game unbeaten run during the first month of 2018 has moved the club into the middle part of the table.

The Cherries began the month with a 2-2 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion but from January 14 onwards, Bournemouth registered seven points from games against Arsenal, West Ham United and Chelsea.

Bournemouth's recent unbeaten run came to an end last week as they succumbed to a 4-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium.

Howe's success ends a run of four straight months where Pep Guardiola had been rewarded for Manchester City's form at the top of the table.
