Striker Raul Jimenez and skipper Conor Coady are both up for the player of the month gong as well.

Having overseen three wins from three after the top-flight's resumption, Nuno is up against Newcastle's Steve Bruce, Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the award.

Wolves' March results – the 3-2 win against Tottenham and 0-0 draw with Brighton – have also been taken into account.

Jimenez and Coady hit the ground running upon the restart too, with Jimenez scoring in the 2-0 and 1-0 victories over West Ham and Bournemouth respectively.

Coady, meanwhile, helped Nuno's charges keep three clean sheets, with Wolves also beating Villa 1-0.

They are battling Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial of Manchester United, Southampton’s Danny Ings and Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin for the gong.

Finally, Pedro Neto's stunning volley at West Ham has seen him nominated for the goal of the month award. You can cast your votes here.
