Sheffield Wednesday journey down to London to face Millwall in the Championship tomorrow afternoon.
Sheffield Wednesday face Millwall in a huge crunch match at the bottom of the Championship table.
Just seven points separate these two teams. But right now it’s Sheffield Wednesday who are sitting in the drop zone and Millwall who are just outside of it.
The Owls lost 2-0 at Leicester City in midweek after winning 2-0 against Birmingham City at Hillsborough last weekend.
Millwall meanwhile were thumped 4-0 at home by Ipswich Town in the week, having not won in their last seven in all competitions.
Sheffield Wednesday are searching for their first win at The Den since 2015.
Latest Sheffield Wednesday team news
Danny Rohl gave an in depth team preview ahead of tomorrow.
He revealed that Dominic Iorfa is making big strides in his return to fitness and that he could even be back in the side before the end of the month.
Rohl also revealed that Momo Diaby, Josh Windass, and Akin Famewo are carrying muscle injuries, and that their return dates are a bit more complicated right now.
Kristian Pedersen, Cameron Dawson, and Juan Delgado remain sidelined.
How will Danny Rohl line up tomorrow?
Millwall is another must-win game, and given the Lions’ poor form and league position, Rohl and his players will view tomorrow’s game as one of a few that are very winnable between now and the end of the season.
Expect James Beadle to start in goal despite his mistake in the midweek game at Leicester, and expect an unchanged back-line with numbers in defence now looking light after injuries to Pedersen and Famewo.
It’ll be interesting to see how the midfield shapes up; with Diaby out, the 30-year-old Will Vaulks came back in against Leicester, but he struggled, and so it could mean another run out in midfield for Liam Palmer.
In attack, expect Ian Poveda to start, but potentially start as the no.10 with Djeidi Gassama and Anthony Musaba on either flank, with Rohl surely wanting to go and attack Millwall tomorrow.
Bailey Cadamarteri could use his physicality to rough up the defenders tomorrow, with Ike Ugbo an option from the bench.
