Daniel Farke is up against his fellow top four bosses for the EFL Championship Manager of the Season prize. Farke has been shortlisted alongside Régis Le Bris [Sunderland AFC], Scott Parker [Burnley] and Chris Wilder [Sheffield United] and the winner will be announced live at the EFL's annual awards ceremony in London on Sunday, April 27. The ceremony will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Football from 8.30pm.

Farke has led Leeds to the top of the Championship table and though they are level on 88 points with Burnley, a goal difference that is nine better than the Clarets and 29 better than third-placed Sheffield United's will act as an extra point if needs be.
