Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne will all compete for the prize with the poll now open for supporters to vote.
Bernardo Silva had previously won the September, October and November awards - a Club record hat-trick of wins.
Now, one of his three creative team-mates will take the award.
Mahrez enjoyed a fine December.
Our leading scorer this campaign, he added four goals to his tally as well as assisting three more during a highly productive month for the Algerian star.
Sterling has shot back to top form over the past couple of months.
His five goals and one assist were invaluable during a month where City won all seven Premier League games.
He now has scored eight goals in his last nine Premier League matches, and also chipped in with an assist in December.
De Bruyne makes a welcome return to the Etihad Player of the Mont shortlist.
The Belgian midfielder had been dogged by injury and illness before shifting back through the gears in December.
His three goals and one assist last month don’t quite tell the whole story. with his form returning to optimum levels as his fitness and sharpness near peak levels.
All three City stars have an excellent chance of bagging the December award - but it is your votes that will decide the winner.
With that in mind, cast your vote now!
The poll closes at noon on Monday, 10 January.
