Hornets striker Odion Ighalo has been nominated for the Championship player of the month award while Watford boss Slavisa Jokanovic is in the running for the manager of the month honour.
It is Ighalo’s second nomination for the player award. He continued his free-scoring form in February, notching six goals in five games which included winners against Blackburn Rovers and Brentford.
The 25-year-old Nigerian is up against Derby County’s Tom Ince, Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury and Leeds United goalkeeper Marco Silvestri.
Jokanovic guided Watford to five victories in six matches last month - three of which saw the Hornets battle back from behind to complete away victories at Brentford, Bolton Wanderers and Leeds.
Also nominated for the manager award is Norwich City boss Alex Neil, Forest manager Dougie Freedman and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Kenny Jackett.
