Sheffield Wednesday host Preston North End in the Championship on Saturday, looking to make it three league wins on the spin.
Wednesday’s win over Derby last Sunday lifted them up to 12th in the league table, bringing the Owls just five points away from the playoff places.

Their opponents, Preston, aren’t having the same upturn in form as Danny Rohl’s side, with three consecutive draws leaving them sitting perilously in 18th, just three points above the relegation zone.
After Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom’s strange comment on Wednesday’s form in the buildup to the match, the Owls squad will be looking to prove that they’re moving in the right direction with another win as we head into the busy Christmas period.

Sheffield Wednesday Team News
Despite some confusion, Barry Bannan is suspended for Wednesday against Preston due to picking up five yellow cards this season. Rohl has hinted at starting Nathaniel Chalobah in Bannan’s place, with whoever is selected having enormous shoes to fill.
On a more positive note, Ike Ugbo is set to return for Wednesday after the striker missed the Derby win due to injury. Di’Shon Bernard will also return against Preston after serving a suspension.
Prediction
With back-to-back away wins, Rohl will be hoping to return to Hillsborough and deliver three more points. Preston are yet to taste victory away from home in the Championship this season, which should give The Owls the extra edge to claim the three points. We’ll go for a 2-1 Wednesday win.
- Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Preston North End.
