West Ham United's Dimitri Payet and Slaven Bilic have been shortlisted for the Premier League's September Player and Manager of the Month awards respectively.
French playmaker Payet is up against Manchester United duo Anthony Martial and Daley Blind as well as Watford's Odion Ighalo, Leicester City's Jamie Vardy and Tottenham Hotspur's Hugo Lloris.
Payet has been a relevation at Upton Park following his summer switch from Marseille and scored twice in three games in September as the Hammers remained unbeaten.
He also recorded two assists and made 83 successful passes in completing all three games for the Hammers.
A brace against Newcastle United got the month off to the ideal start before a 2-1 win at Manchester City and a 2-2 draw against Norwich City.
It was that form which saw Croatian boss Bilic nominated alongside Manchester United's Louis van Gaal, Tottenham Hotspur's Mauricio Pochettino and Everton's Roberto Martinez.
