Guardiola led City to three wins in three games in the top-flight – a 3-2 home defeat of Fulham, a 2-1 away victory at Wolves and a 1-0 triumph over Southampton.
Mateo Kovacic scored twice and Jeremy Doku grabbed a vital third in the Cottagers victory, John Stones headed home a last-gasp winner at Molineux while Erling Haaland’s early goal was the difference against the Saints.
The Blues finish October in top spot in the Premier League, one point ahead of Liverpool and five in front of both Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Guardiola is up against Nottingham Forest’s Nuno Espirito Santo (P3, W2, D1), Brighton’s Fabian Hurzeler (P3, W2, D1) and Arne Slot ((P3, W2, D1) of Liverpool for the prize.
