8) Arsene Wenger (Arsenal)
Alexis Sanchez’s brilliance could not completely cover up Arsenal’s difficult start to the season. The results are starting to come for them again however, and they look favourites to retain the FA Cup.
7) Garry Monk (Swansea City)
The fledgling manager has been excellent since taking the reigns at Swansea, and for the most part has continued that fine form this season. The loss of Wilfried Bony is likely to hit them hard though, and it will be interesting to see how they cope.
6) Alan Pardew (Newcastle United, Crystal Palace)
After a difficult start to the season, Pardew defied his critics to lead Newcastle back up the table. His reputation has only been enhanced since his move to Palace, where he currently has a 100% record.
5) Sean Dyche (Burnley)
Has done a fantastic job in difficult circumstances, keeping Burnley within touching distance of Premier League safety on limited funds, while also maintaining the team spirit and togetherness.
Fair evaluation.. only unsure about the the inclusion of Rob Kelly. Got to be joking
