Sheffield Wednesday head to Leicester City in the Championship this evening.
Sheffield Wednesday make the trip down to Leicester City tonight, for what will no doubt be a tough encounter against the league leaders.
The Foxes are nine points clear of Southampton in 2nd and have lost just one of their last 17 in all competitions, beating Watford 2-1 away from home in their last outing.
The Owls meanwhile ended a run of six games without a win over the weekend when they beat Birmingham City 2-0 at Hillsborough.
Danny Rohl‘s side will also be buoyed by their previous result vs Leicester; a 1-1 draw at the end of November which kick-started a positive run through December.
Latest Sheffield Wednesday team news
There are no new injury concerns for the Owls going into this one.
Callum Paterson recently underwent knee surgery and looks set for an extended spell on the sidelines, whilst the likes of Josh Windass continues to nurse a muscle injury.
Dominic Iorfa and Juan Delgado remain longer-term absentees for Sheffield Wednesday.
How will Danny Rohl line up against Leicester City?
After a much-improved performance vs Birmingham City last time out, expect a relatively unchanged line up for Sheffield Wednesday tonight.
Rohl though might have more of a thought for the defence with Leicester having scored 66 goals in the Championship already this season.
One change he could make is swapping Momo Diaby for Will Vaulks, after a quite unimpressive performance from Diaby in the last outing vs Birmingham City.
Rohl might also opt for one up front so that he can get more players behind the ball, potentially looking to counter-attack Leicester who’ll no doubt dominate possession and play higher up the pitch.
Expect last weekend’s heroes Ian Poveda and Ike Ugbo to keep their spots in the XI, with a fresh Anthony Musaba potentially returning to try and cause the Foxes some issues tonight.
Here’s how we think Sheffield Wednesday will line up vs Leicester City tonight…
