Favourites to win Premier League Player of the Month for October 2023

Son won the Premier League September Player of the Month award
James Maddison and Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur have already won the award this season, but neither has received a nomination this time. Cristian Romero missed the final list, therefore, Ange Postecoglou's league leaders might produce a third consecutive winner.
The six players vying for October's prize are listed below.
6. Douglas Luis
One of the main winners of Unai Emery's coaching has been Luiz, the Brazilian midfielder who had a fantastic October for Aston Villa.
An incredible month began with two goals against West Ham United and ended with Luiz putting up the first goal in a 3-1 victory over Luton Town.
90min comprehends Arsenal, who has long been interested in Luiz, is encouraged by his form and is eager to complete a trade after failing to close a deal in 2022.
5. Bryan Mbeumo
It should come as no surprise that Mbeumo played a major factor in Brentford's two victories out of their four games in October.
In a 3-0 victory over Burnley, he netted one and assisted on another. Later, on the road, Brentford shocked Chelsea 2-0.
As of right now, Mbeumo has scored six goals so far this year. There are only four players who have contributed additional goals as November approaches.
4. Pedro Neto
In every one of his games in October—against Aston Villa, AFC Bournemouth, and Newcastle United—the Portuguese produced assists, and Wolves went the whole month undefeated.
The winger's first goal of the month came against Aston Villa, which he set up for Hee-Chan Hwang after an almost unstoppable run down the right.
Subsequently, his ingenuity enabled Matheus Cunha to tie the score at Bournemouth, and on the following weekend, Neto's corner released Mario Lemina, who scored his maiden Old Gold goal against Newcastle.
3. Declan Rice
Rice, who was signed for more than just his goals and assists, making certain to provide Arsenal with the whole package in October.
Rice finished the month with an assist in the 5-0 victory against Sheffield United, capping an incredible performance in the 1-0 triumph over Manchester City. Rice also scored the goal that ignited the comeback against Chelsea.
For the majority of October, Mikel Arteta used Jorginho at the foundation of his midfield to move Rice higher forward, and the consequences are obvious.
2. Cristian Romero

Cristian Romero is a nominee for the October Player of the Month award in the EA SPORTS Premier League.
Cristian, Tottenham's vice-captain, has had an incredible month in the Premier League, leading us to three victories and two clean sheets.
A pillar of our defence, Cuti quickly established a strong rapport with new signing Micky van de Ven. Together with their defensive colleagues, the two almost gave us a flawless defensive month as we came within a hair's breadth of going the full month without giving up.
1. Mohamed Salah
The Premier League has nominated Mohamed Salah for October's Player of the Month award. Liverpool's No. 11 netted five goals in his three league games during that time, including a finish in the team's victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday and doubles over Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton. He's been added to the prize's six-person shortlist.
