David Silva, Fernandinho and Vincent Kompany are this month's Etihad Player of the Month nominees for August.

In a month where so many players shone brightly, it is this stellar trio that are up for the first award of the campaign. Here’s a brief reminder why...

David Silva

A magical start by El Mago. The gifted Spaniard has been at his brilliant best during August, scoring one goal and making another three. Integral to everything creative City do, Silva could be set for his best season yet in sky blue.

Vincent Kompany

The skipper has been back to his commanding best with two goals to his credit plus powerful defending that has seen City keep four clean sheets during August. Kompany said he intended to lead by example and it is his determination and fight that has helped the Blues make a breathless start.

Fernandinho

Fernandinho is yet another City player who has made a superb start to the new campaign. Disciplined aggression with more than a touch of silk, he has scored two thumping goals in both the Blues’ opening home games and provided excellent protection to the back four from his anchor role in front of the defence.
