Sheffield Wednesday will be facing off against league leaders Leicester City tonight as they head to their opponents’ home turf.
Leicester City currently sits nine points clear in 1st place and has only lost one of their last 17 matches, clinching a 2-1 victory against Watford in their most recent game.
In contrast, Sheffield Wednesday recently broke a six-game winless streak with a 2-0 victory over Birmingham City. Their 1-1 draw against Leicester back in November provided a positive turning point for the team.
As for team news, Sheffield Wednesday does not have any new injury concerns, but Callum Paterson’s recent knee surgery will keep him sidelined alongside Josh Windass and long-term absentees Dominic Iorfa and Juan Delgado.
Following their improved performance against Birmingham, it’s likely that Sheffield Wednesday’s lineup will remain relatively unchanged, with a potential swap of Momo Diaby for Will Vaulks. The team may also opt for a defensively-oriented formation against Leicester’s strong offensive play, possibly playing with one forward and banking on counter-attacks.
The anticipated lineup for Sheffield Wednesday against Leicester City includes:
- Beadle (GK)
- Johnson
- Famewo
- Bernard
- Valentin
- Vaulks
- Bannan
- Gassama
- Poveda
- Musaba
- Ugbo
