Jurgen Klopp has not been nominated for the Premier League manager of the month for the first time since February 2019.
The Reds suffered their first league loss this season with a 3-0 loss to Watford, who was threatened with relegation, last month.
It was only the second defeat for Liverpool in 13 months, with the first win against the eventual Man City champion.
And despite taking the maximum points in three of their other February games against Southampton, Norwich and West Ham, it was not enough for Klopp to be nominated for the monthly prize.
The German coach has already won the award five times this season – in August, September, November, December and January – and has been nominated monthly since February 2019.
But now Ole Gunnar Solskjaer of Manchester United, Sean Dyche of Burnley, Mikel Arteta of Arsenal and Chris Wilder of Sheffield United have been nominated for the gong in February.
The four clubs remained undefeated in February.
After three games, Solskjaer, Wilder and Arteta guided their respective teams to two wins and a draw.
Meanwhile, Dyche, whose Burnley team has played four times, has won twice and shot twice.
Burnley’s form brought them ninth in the standings after a difficult start to the season, while Manchester United narrowed the gap to fourth-placed Chelsea by three points.
Arteta maintained the start of Arsenal’s undefeated league until 2020 as Wilder continued to lead eighth-seeded Sheffield United to a shocking place in Europe.
