Sportsmail understands it will be presented as a pre-recorded video ahead of the clash between Tottenham and Manchester City, interspersed with a ‘thank you’ from all 92 clubs who took part in the competition.
EFL officials have sent out a ‘Thank you NHS’ placard to every club this week and have asked each of them to take a photograph of either their manager, captain or entire squad holding it up.
