Sheffield Wednesday face a daunting trip to Millwall tonight, knowing that a win is badly needed.
The Owls haven’t tasted victory since beating Portsmouth back in September, and right now it’s 18 points to Championship safety.
Mike Ashley has been linked with purchasing Wednesday, and it’s anticipated that exclusivity will be given to one preferred bidder by early December.
Tonight, all eyes will be on South London, however, with the Owls looking to send the travelling supporters home happy with a first win for many weeks.
Predicted Sheffield Wednesday team to play Millwall
The Wednesday rearguard
Ethan Horvath is the only senior goalkeeper on the books at the moment and despite his sporadic form, he will retain his place between the posts.
In front of him, there could be one change, with Liam Cooper slotting between Liam Palmer and Max Lowe at the heart of a three-man central defensive unit.
Cooper is yet to start since signing on a free transfer, but it does look as though he will take a bow tonight against Millwall.
Yan Valery and Harry Amass will likely operate as the two wing-backs, with the latter playing on the left.
Pulling the Wednesday strings
Barry Bannan will likely lead the team once again as he looks to offer some strong leadership skills on a relatively young squad.
Alongside him, we expect Svante Ingelsson to drop a little bit deeper and play as a more conventional central midfielder.
Leading the line
There is no way on this earth that Henrik Pedersen can persist with Ike Ugbo, and the centre forward will surely be replaced this evening.
Bailey Cadamarteri will be keen to get back on the goal trail, and this looks the ideal match for the physical striker to lead the line.
Behind him, Jamal Lowe should continue with Charlie McNeill potentially coming into the fray and operating just behind a main striker.
