He faces competition from Middlesbrough's Marcus Tavernier and Fulham's Cyrus Christie for their goals against Stoke City and QPR respectively.

On the goal, the nomination read: "The lone Luton attacker as he chased onto a pass, Cornick was happy to go solo, squaring up a defender before opening up his stance to curl a delightful shot into the far top corner."

Voting is open from this morning and closes tomorrow, with the winner announced on Friday.
