Chris Mepham has won the Michael Matthews Player of the Month award for August. 

The centre-back started all five of the club's Premier League fixtures, which saw the side keep two clean sheets against Aston Villa and Wolves. 

For both fixtures, Mepham was included in the club's Man of the Match poll on social media, with his efforts in defence not going unnoticed by supporters. 

The 24-year-old won our poll on Twitter with 39.8% of the vote, beating off competition from Marcus Tavernier (29%), Lewis Cook (19.1%) and Jefferson Lerma (12.1%). 

He's since been part of the side that picked up another three points in the superb comeback win against Nottingham Forest and subsequently was presented with the Michael Matthews award for August at Vitality Stadium.
