Ronald Koeman could be set for a hat-trick of Premier League manager of the month awards - after being nominated for the March prize.

The Saints boss has already received the honour twice this season, winning the September and January trophies.

Koeman led his team to home wins over Crystal Palace and Burnley during March, while also overseeing a 1-1 draw at Premier League leaders Chelsea.

He is up against Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, Manchester United's Louis van Gaal and Aston Villa's Tim Sherwood for the latest award, which is due to be announced on Friday.
