The winners will be announced on Sunday, April 24 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, and the event will be streamed live in the Sky Sports app.

Fulham's Mitrovic has scored 38 times so far which saw him break the record for the most goals scored in a Championship season. His strikes, coupled with the creativity of team-mate Wilson, who has contributed 14 assists and scored 10 himself, have powered Fulham to the top of the division.

Striker Solanke, the division's second-highest scorer, is also in the three-man shortlist for the award having netted 24 goals to push Bournemouth into automatic promotion contention.

In Sky Bet League One, midfielders Scott Twine and Barry Bannan are up against Rotherham United striker Michael Smith for the Sky Bet Player of the Season award. Twine's 15 goals and 12 assists have helped MK Dons' promotion push. The ability and experience of Sheffield Wednesday's Bannan has shone through all season with an array of match-winning performances. Smith has been a consistent top performer for Rotherham United with 18 goals to his name.

In Sky Bet League Two, Forest Green Rovers have two players in contention in Kane Wilson and Matty Stevens, while Newport County's goalscoring machine Dominic Telford completes the list. Wilson has combined his dribbling ability and pinpoint crossing to the tune of 13 assists whilst Steven's goals have been a key factor in Forest Green's excellent season. Telford scored 22 goals in 19 games in a wonderful four-month stretch.

The EFL Young Player of the Season Awards will be given out divisionally for the first
