Moore was appointed first-team coach by the Baggies after Alan Pardew's exit, and has revitalised the side, avoiding potential relegation in the past three games.

The former centre-back secured a draw in his first game in charge with Swansea, before helping Albion to a shock 1-0 win at Old Trafford. He also masterminded his side's comeback to draw 2-2 with Liverpool and the most recent 1-0 win over Newcastle.

He goes up against Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Sam Allardyce and Roy Hodgson for the monthly honour, with voting open now.

Meanwhile, Livermore has been one of Moore's integral players during that run, scoring in the draw with Liverpool and notching an assist in the win over the Magpies.

He's played every minute of Albion's unbeaten run over the past four games, and goes up against Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Eriksen, Jordan Pickford, Paul Pogba and Wilfried Zaha for his award.

Both award-winners will be revealed on Tuesday May 8th, with fans able to vote for their choice of manager here whilst the player vote is available here.
