Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has been nominated for the Barclays Premier League manager of the month award for September.
City striker Leonardo Ulloa is also nominated in the player of the month category.
Pearson is up against Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Southampton boss Ronald Koeman after City picked up two wins out of three in September.
City claimed their first win in the Premier League at Stoke City before the incredible comeback to beat Manchester United 5-3 at the King Power Stadium.
Ulloa scored twice in that sensational victory over United and the week before he grabbed the winner to give City all three points at the Britannia Stadium.
Ulloa is up against Manchester United's Angel Di Maria, West Ham's Diafra Sakho, Southampton's Graziano Pelle and Morgan Schneiderlin, and Palace's Mile Jedinak.
The winners will be announced tomorrow morning.
