# West Brom: Fans hope Leeds and Bielsa pick up Manager of the Month award

**Right now in the Sky Bet Championship, there are two standout sides that look set for promotion to the Premier League and they are West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United.**

Locked together on 46 points, after this latest round of midweek fixtures it’s now the Whites that are top on goal difference after the Baggies drew at Wigan on Wednesday night.

Even so, both sides look a class above those chasing them and seem capable of putting together the kind of runs that earn you promotion into the top flight.

November was another successful month for both, then, and that has naturally seen both Marcelo Bielsa and Slaven Bilic nominated for the Manager of the Month award.

And, given that some feel as though a curse comes with winning the gong – and a drop off in form – some Baggies fans would rather see Bielsa win it over their Croatian gaffer.

Let’s take a look at what they’ve said on Twitter in response to that:
