Conor Bradley and Diogo Jota have been nominated for the Premier League’s Player of the Month for January.

The Liverpool duo were shortlisted alongside Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel of Arsenal, Tottenham’s Richarlison and Luton’s Elijah Adebayo.

Bradley was included in the running after producing an assist as the Reds downed Bournemouth during his top-flight debut in the middle of last month.

The Northern Ireland international also provided a further two assists and his first goal for Jurgen Klopp’s side put Chelsea to the sword on January 31.

Jota, meanwhile, racked up three goals and two assists in the Premier League across the month as Liverpool held onto top spot in the title race.

Separately, Klopp has been nominated for the league’s Manager of the Month after his side racked up three four-goal victories in their January schedule.

The outgoing German will battle current title rivals Mikel Arteta of Arsenal and Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola as well as Luton boss Rob Edwards.

Should he win the award for an 11th time before leaving Anfield this summer, Klopp will become the fourth-highest recipient alongside David Moyes.

He would also sit just one more win away from Guardiola’s haul of 11 in third.

Fans can vote for the Player and Manager of the Month via the Premier League’s website before the deadline at 12pm on Monday (February 12).
