Parker faces competition from Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace, Plymouth Argyle’s Wayne Rooney and Sheffield United chief Chris Wilder.
Like Burnley, Rovers also claimed seven points in September, Plymouth picked up six while the Blades claimed 10, having played a game more than the other three sides.
In announcing his nomination, the EFL said: “Parker’s tenure at Turf Moor has already seen half of his team leave in late August. Some shrewd transfer acquisitions later, he spent September moulding a new team together and still gained seven points from three unbeaten games.”
