Pedro and Diego Costa challenge Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for November player of the month prize

Chelsea's impressive form in the Premier League has been recognised with two player of the month nominations, while Antonio Conte is up for manager of the month.

Diego Costa and Pedro's efforts in helping the Blues hit the top of the table have been rewarded, as the pair form a third of the six-man shortlist.

Costa scored two goals and made two assists during the month as Chelsea stayed unbeaten, hitting the winning goal at Middlesbrough and setting up Victor Moses' strike in victory over Tottenham.
