Sheffield Wednesday v Ipswich Town: How to watch, what channel is it on and what are the betting odds?

Sheffield Wednesday’s promotion campaign faces a major obstacle in the form of Ipswich Town on Saturday, September 17.

Despite a setback against local rivals Barnsley, the Owls got back to winning ways with a dominant display against Morecambe, winning 3-0 away from home.

However, Ipswich themselves are no slouches. They’ve yet to suffer defeat so far this season - last time out, they comfortably swept aside a mediocre Bristol Rovers outfit.

Can Wednesday put an end to Ipswich’s strong start, or will they too become a victim of Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys?
