Sheffield United striker Patrick Bamford and Norwich forward Jovon Makama have been nominated for the Championship's player of the month award for December along with Preston goalkeeper Daniel Iversen and Leicester midfielder Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
Bamford signed an 18-month contract with Sheffield United earlier this month having initially joined on a short-term deal in November.
The 32-year-old has scored six goals in 11 appearances for the Blades, including four in December.
Norwich's Makama is the Canaries' leading scorer this season with 12 goals in all competitions.
He scored twice in a victory over Southampton last month, once in a draw at Preston and the winner against Charlton - those goals worth a valuable seven points to a relegation-threatened Norwich side.
