April has been a cruel month for several clubs. Arsenal’s title challenge has wobbled violently, Chelsea sacked their manager and two Premier League teams have seen relegation confirmed. But others have enjoyed the start of spring.
Manchester City have capitalized upon the Gunners’ stumbling form to reignite the race for top spot and been rewarded with several nominees across the monthly awards for players and managers. West Ham and Leeds United have also been singled out for recognition of their work at the opposite end of the table to rejuvenate the relegation battle.
