City's Elite Development Squad duo Liam Delap and Cole Palmer have both been nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month Award for March.

The pair have been at the forefront of another fantastic month for Enzo Maresca’s Young Blues, grabbing hat-tricks against Southampton and West Ham respectively in each of our two wins across the month.

And they will both be vying for a second Player of the Month Award this season, with Palmer picking up October’s gong before Delap followed suit in November.

Their contributions have played a major part in our Young Blues’ collective march towards the Premier League 2 title, and they have been recognised for their efforts as part of a six-man shortlist.
