Sheffield Wednesday head to Bristol City in the Championship on Wednesday night.
Sheffield Wednesday are in midweek action on Wednesday night, where they head down to Ashton Gate to kickstart a busy October for the Owls.
Danny Rohl’s side play six games in October, with four of those being away from home; Bristol City and then Coventry City this weekend, with Portsmouth away towards the end of the month, then Brentford away in the Carabao Cup, with Sheffield Wednesday set to rack up more than 1,300 miles in October alone.
Last time out, Wednesday beat West Brom 3-2 in an action-packed game at Hillsborough which ended a run of five league games without a win for the Owls.
Going into these midweek fixtures, Sheffield Wednesday sit in 18th place of the Championship table compared to the Robins in 14th, who are unbeaten at Ashton Gate this season.
Sheffield Wednesday team and injury news vs Bristol City
Ben Hamer is stepping up his recovery having missed every league game so far due to a hand injury sustained during the pre-season.
Before the West Brom game, Rohl said that Dominic Iorfa is nearing a return to action, and so he seems 50/50 to feature once again.
Nathaniel Chalobah remains sidelined for a while longer yet.
Sheffield Wednesday predicted XI vs Bristol City
Rohl has deployed a 5-2-2-1 formation in recent weeks, and with a lot more success than the weeks before, so expect an unchanged shape.
Rohl though may choose to rotate a couple of players for this game; especially so in attack with the Wednesday front-line very hard-pressing and intense.
Ike Ugbo has struggled in recent weeks and could be at risk of losing his starting spot vs Bristol City, possibly being replaced by Michael Smith.
Olaf Kobacki has enjoyed a good run in the XI but could be swapped for the likes of West Brom match-winner Anthony Musaba, simply to keep the front-line fresh.
Akin Famewo has been in fine form recently and will no doubt keep his spot in the defence, which will likely remain unchanged from West Brom despite two goals conceded.
Here’s how we think Sheffield Wednesday will line up vs Bristol City…
