Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is determined to help David Silva win Premier League Player of the Month awards in 2017/18.
Vincent Kompany said he was happy to be discussing his goal in Manchester City's 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday rather than his persistent injury problems.
City were in prolific form as they thrashed Palace at Eastlands on Saturday.

Palace manager Sam Allardyce was critical of his players, suggesting that they effectively gave City the win.
Allardyce's side remain on 38 points after falling to a third successive defeat that kept them from securing their top-flight survival. "I've warned them about it but you can tell the players as much as you want and warn them as often as you can, but when they walk over that white line, they've got to have the spot-on desire, determination and ability to achieve". "That's why today it was different because we scored goals in the first minutes of the first half and the second half". "Right at the end we got the free kick and went for another goal". That is the biggest disappointment. We are the best in the league at doing that, we create more chances than anyone, but we are not always able to score the goals.
