Man City pair Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne handed Premier League nominations

Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne have been nominated for the Premier League's manager and player of the month for January.

Guardiola has led City to an unbeaten January with two wins and a draw in the Premier League.

A last-gasp Rodri goal on New Year's Day saw City defeat Arsenal having fallen behind at the Emirates. Chelsea were then beaten in a huge game at the top of the table as De Bruyne's stunner against his old club was enough to secure all three points.

An Aymeric Laporte equaliser at Southampton rescued a point after Kyle Walker-Peters' stunning opener.

Guardiola will be up against Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, Wolves' Bruno Lage and Norwich City's Dean Smith for the award.

Meanwhile, City's De Bruyne has earned himself a nomination for player of the month.

His aforementioned strike against Thomas Tuchel's side was his standout moment, though he also provided the assist for Laporte's header against Southampton which saved City falling to a shock defeat.

The Belgian will be up against West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, Manchester United's David de Gea, Leeds United's Jack Harrison, Wolves' Joao Moutinho and Southampton's James Ward-Prowse in the competition.
