Burnley defender Kieran Trippier has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship player of the month for December.
The former Manchester City ace faces competition from Derby’s Craig Bryson, Leicester’s Danny Drinkwater and Sheffield Wednesday’s Connor Wickham for the award, which is announced on Friday morning.
Trippier is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Turf Moor teammate Danny Ings, who was crowned Championship Player of the month for November, 2013.
Fellow Claret Jason Shackell was also shortlisted for the award in December 2013, but narrowly missed out.
