Arsenal beat Southampton, Hull and Chelsea to complete a 100 per cent month in the top flight.
A draw at Paris St-Germain and win over Basle in the Champions League and a thrashing of Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup made it a memorable September for Arsene Wenger's side.
And the Arsenal boss has been nominated for the Premier League manager of the month award after his side's three wins from three.
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, Crystal Palace coach Alan Pardew and Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino are also in the running.
Meanwhile, Arsenal striker Theo Walcott is up for the Premier League's player of the month award.
Walcott scored in the wins over Hull and Chelsea to earn a nod from the selection panel.
Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Adam Lallana and Son Heung-Min are also on the shortlist.
Completing Arsenal's hat-trick of nominations is Granit Xhaka.
The Swiss midfielder is in contention for the Carling goal of the month award for his long-range thunderbolt in the 4-1 win at Hull.
