The Owls face Chester at Deva Stadium as they look to build on the 3-1 defeat that they suffered at the hands of Celtic earlier in the week, and Darren Moore will no doubt be looking to try out some new combinations as he continues his preparations for the campaign ahead.

It has been reported by The Star that former Everton midfielder, Dennis Adeniran, has agreed terms to join the club for next season, and there’s a chance that – if all goes well - he could even have his first run out in Wednesday colours later this afternoon.

Our man Joe Crann is there at the stadium, so he’ll be bringing you all the updates as they come through – can Wednesday get their first preseason win? Only time will tell…

Up the Owls!

Chester v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE: Dennis Adeniran starts after penning Owls deal

Key Events

  • The former Everton man was straight into the XI
  • Wednesday lost to Celtic earlier this week

Wednesdayites enjoying themselves...

‘Bannan, give us a wave’, they chant. Bannan obliges. They’ve also been in full voice singing Julian Börner’s song as well.

Windass powers down the line and passes the onrushing keeper - no idea what he was doing, by the way - but his effort is cleared off the line from out wide... Wednesday taking control of things now, just need a goal.

Better from Wednesday

It’s been a bit of sloppy start to be honest, but they’re finding a bit of rhythm now... Windass found Palmer, who whipped a lovely ball into the box. Green couldn’t make his header count though. Another opportunity gone begging.

Nice sprayed past from Adeniran, Windass runs at his man and his cross is deflected out

Big Paterson chance after Bannan delightfully finds Green… Green squares it, but Pato can’t get the right connection on it. Should probably be 1-0.

Chester work things well down their right hand side, but the crossed ball is well dealt with by Dunkley.

Joe Wildsmith is replaced by Cameron Dawson

A word from the new lad...

Hi Ho Silver Lining

A group of Wednesdayites are here in the far corner - and just belted out a little rendition of Hi Ho Silver Lining as the Owls made their way onto the pitch.
