Manchester City's good form in the Women's Super League continues to be recognised as three stars have been shortlisted for yet another award.

Lauren Hemp, Khadija Shaw and Chloe Kelly have all been nominated for the PFA Vertu Motors Fans' Player of the Month award for February. City won both their league matches last month, beating Arsenal and Leicester City.


Against the Foxes, Kelly and Shaw were on the scoresheet while it was Kelly and Hemp who guided City to a crucial win over Arsenal a week later. Gareth Taylor's side now find themselves in title contention as they sit second in the table behind Manchester United, although they have played two more games than the Gunners and Chelsea.

City are now unbeaten in 12 and the front three have been integral to the team's form this season. However, they face competition from Aston Villa's Kirsty Hanson, Leicester's Janina Leitzig and United's Ona Batlle for this award.

They won't be the first City stars to be rewarded for their performances in February as manager Taylor was named manager of the month a couple of weeks ago. However, it was Villa's Jordan Nobbs who pipped Kelly to the Player of the Month award.

The Manchester club continued their winning run as they kicked March off with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham over the weekend. Shaw was the star of the show on that occasion with a hat-trick to seal the win.

They're now gearing up for another huge league game against strugglers Brighton this weekend after the Seagulls parted company with their manager for the second time this season. It's then back to FA Cup action with a trip to face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.
