Sheffield Wednesday travel to Derby County in the Championship on Sunday, looking to build upon their impressive victory over Hull City.

Wednesday beat Hull 2-0 on Tuesday, with Danny Rohl’s side bouncing back strongly from their frustrating draw with Cardiff City.

James Beadle impressed against Hull, with a Josh Windass penalty and a late Michael Smith goal enough to secure the three points, moving Wednesday up to 13th in the Championship table.

Early Sheffield Wednesday Team News

Rohl issued a positive update on Pierce Charles when speaking to the press on Wednesday, with the young goalkeeper in contention for the bench against Derby.

Windass may have a hamstring injury after Rohl shared concerns about his workload after the Hull win, but it is yet to be confirmed how serious that may be.

Rohl will also have to deal with a key absentee in his defence, with Di’Shon Bernard suspended for the Derby game due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Prediction

Sheffield Wednesday have struggled for consistency throughout the Championship season, but Sunday’s game against Derby offers a chance to begin a run of positive results.

Rohl and his Wednesday coaching staff will be aware of their host’s threats, but Derby are three games without a win so The Owls must have a level of confidence. We’ll go for a 1-0 Wednesday win.
