Salah is the first winner of the Player and Goal award in the same month since Jesse Lingard did so with West Ham in April 2021.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel won the Manager of the Month award for the Blues' four wins in four games. Chelsea started the month by beating Southampton 3-1 at home. It then defeated Brentford 1-0 away before thrashing Norwich 7-0. Chelsea finished the month with another clean sheet in a 3-0 win over Newcastle United.

Tuchel won the prize for the second time, having first done so in March 2021.
