The Toffees beat Burnley to get back on track at Hill Dickinson Stadium. A narrow defeat to Arsenal was then followed up by a sensational 3-0 win over Chelsea.

Today, the Premier League has released the nominees for both the Player and Manager of the Month award.

And Everton have representatives in both categories in the form of James Garner and David Moyes.

There’s a chance they could both win, and that would certainly be a rare occurrence.

Everton doing a Player and Manager of the Month double has been rare

You might be wondering if Everton have ever actually won both of the awards in the same month before.

This has actually happened on two occasions previously.

The most recent pair to achieve the double were Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Carlo Ancelotti back in September 2020.

Of course, when Ancelotti first arrived at Everton he made a brilliant start, and striker Calvert-Lewin very much enjoyed his time under the Italian.

Everton beat Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace to start the season, with Calvert-Lewin hitting five goals.

That was Ancelotti’s fifth Premier League Manager of the Month award in total, with his other four coming when he was at Chelsea.

But there were also another pair who previously scooped a double for Everton.

Phil Jagielka and Moyes also scooped the gongs back in February 2009.

This time around, Garner is competing against Bruno Fernandes, Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Gordon, Alex Iwobi, David Raya and Danny Welbeck.

Standing in the way of Moyes are Mikel Arteta, Regis Le Bris, Fabian Hurzeler, and Eddie Howe.
