Sheffield Wednesday are back in action on Wednesday night, taking on Hull City in the Carabao Cup.
Danny Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday are on the road for the first time this season.
The Owls make the trip across Yorkshire to face Championship rivals Hull City in the opening round of the Carabao Cup.
It comes after Sheffield Wednesday thumped Plymouth Argyle 4-0 on the opening day of the season.
Rohl’s men currently sit top of the Championship table after one game of the season, compared to Hull City who sit in 14th after their opening day draw vs Bristol City.
The Tigers made several new signings this summer, including the permanent captures of Liam Millar, Ryan Giles, and Cody Drameh among others.
Sheffield Wednesday beat Hull City on New Year’s Day this year, winning 3-1 at Hillsborough, losing the reverse fixture 4-2 at the MKM Stadium under Xisco Munoz.

Sheffield Wednesday team and injury news vs Hull City
Rohl has a relatively clean bill of health within his first-team squad right now.
Goalkeeper Ben Hamer is injured having missed the opening game of the season, with youngster Pierce Charles named on the bench in his place.
Bailey Cadamarteri was left out of the side that faced Plymouth amid rumours of a loan exit; several EFL clubs are interested in Cadamarteri this summer.

Sheffield Wednesday predicted XI vs Hull City
Expect Charles to start in goal and be given a chance to impress after his whirlwind summer with Northern Ireland at the U19 Euros.
With several players competing for starting spots, we could see Rohl make some quite heavy changes to the XI in order to give everyone a chance, and in order to keep his players fresh ahead of a trip to Sunderland in the Championship this weekend.
The likes of summer signings Olaf Kobacki and Charlie McNeill could be given starting opportunities at Hull City.
Meanwhile, the more familiar faces of Michael Ihiekwe, Marvin Johnson, Bambo Diaby, Liam Palmer, and Pol Valentin may step into the XI to give the opening day starters a rest in time for the Sunderland game.
