Arsenal played out four matches last month which saw them beat Watford 3-2, Leicester City 2-0 and Aston Villa 1-0, whilst also losing to Liverpool by two goals to nil.

Given that both Chelsea and Liverpool went unbeaten during the month of March, the decision to give the award to Arteta is somewhat odd.
