He is one of four changes for the owls from the side that lost to Fulham on Saturday.

Liam Palmer comes in for Jack Hunt, Jordan Thorniley replaces Frederico Venancio, David Jones comes in for Barry Bannan who came off injured at the weekend.

George Boyd drops out with Forestieri going in behind the front two and Adam Reach presumably at this stage taking up the role of left wing-back.

Owls: Wildsmith; Palmer, Lees, Thorniley, Pudil; Reach; Pelupessy, Jones, Forestieri; Nuhiu, Joao. Subs: Dawson, Rhodes, Matias, Baker, Nielsen, Boyd, Butterfield.

QPR: Smithies, Furlong, Baptiste, Robinson, Bidwell, Freeman, Scowen, Cousins, Osayi-Samuel, Smith, Sylla
