Huddersfield Town have no men in the player of the season short list despite defying expectations and challenging for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Newcastle United's Dwight Gayle, Brighton's Anthony Knockaert and Leeds United striker Chris Wood fill out the three-man short list, while there is no room for any Town man.

Tommy Smith and Aaron Mooy have both previously been included in the EFL team of the season - alongside head coach David Wagner - but the three forwards have been nominated for the top prize.
