Sheffield Wednesday make their way down to Coventry City on Saturday afternoon.
Sheffield Wednesday face Coventry City in the Championship on Saturday, with both teams needing a win to move away from the bottom three.
As things stand, the Owls sit in 19th place of the Championship table following a 0-0 draw with Bristol City in midweek, compared to Coventry City in 17th.
The Sky Blues have started slow this season. But Mark Robins will hope that a 3-0 win against Blackburn Rovers in midweek can spring a run of form.
Here we look at three changes Danny Rohl is bound to make for the game against Coventry…

Michael Ihiekwe bound to start for Sheffield Wednesday against Coventry City
During the game at Ashton Gate, Liam Palmer picked up an injury. Rohl later confirmed that Palmer has a muscle injury and now he looks likely to miss this weekend’s game.
With centre-backs already thin on the ground, Rohl will be hoping for no more injuries or suspensions.
Michael Ihiekwe will no doubt step into the XI on Saturday, and Gabriel Otegbayo will likely come onto the bench should Palmer not be able to feature at all.
Di’Shon Bernard shone against Bristol City and will need to be at his best once again.

Michael Smith surely starts over Ike Ugbo
One player who didn’t impress against Bristol City was Ike Ugbo, with fans critical of the striker following a lacklustre individual performance.
His poor form continues following his £3million move from Troyes during the summer, with Ugbo yet to score in the Championship this season.
There’s been calls for Michael Smith to start instead. The big striker may be much-better suited to this current formation, with long balls now an occasional feature of Wednesday’s play.
Max Lowe possibly comes in for Marvin Johnson
Another who struggled at Bristol City was Marvin Johnson, who often looked overrun with the Robins doing the majority of the attacking.
Johnson had critics last season, often when playing against opposition who has Wednesday on the backfoot.
His defensive game has often been called into question, and with Coventry likely to be on top for much of this weekend’s game, Rohl might fancy giving Max Lowe a run in the side, to see if he’s better able to cope defensively.
