Danny Wilson chairs the Sky Bet Manager of the Month judging panel.

He said: “Vincent’s team are looking relentless as they strive to return to the Premier League. In addition to picking up 14 points in an unbeaten February, they are doing it in style with 13 goals scored in fixtures which looked very difficult on paper.”

Sky Sports’ EFL pundit Don Goodman said: “Kompany’s stranglehold on this award goes on, because it’s impossible to underestimate the work he’s doing at Turf Moor.

“The likes of Michael Carrick came close to ending Kompany’s run of three awards in as many months, but after another 14 points from six games, Burnley’s form under the Belgian remains sensational.”

Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies said: “At odds of 1/33, Vincent Kompany’s Burnley look destined to win the Championship title this season and secure an immediate return to the top-flight of English football.
