We’ll be hearing from goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell as well as manager Darren Moore as they look ahead to the clash with last season’s beaten play-off finalists.

The in-form Owls have won seven of their last eight matches in the league, while Lincoln, who are managed by Moore’s good friend Michael Appleton, have lost their last three.

Sheffield Wednesday: LIVE updates from Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Darren Moore ahead of Lincoln City trip

Key Events

  • Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Darren Moore set to speak to the media from 1pm
  • The Owls have won seven of their last eight games heading into the clash
  • Injury update on several key players expected

‘It’s a big thing having a solid spine to a team. It’s allowing us to be stronger and stronger.’

On recent good form: ‘We are getting our players back, we have had a consistent XI out [...] something we haven’t had for the majority of the season.

‘It’s allowed players to come together and gel a bit more. Everything’s coming together quite nicely.’

The midfielder has been in excellent form of late but missed Tuesday’s win over Burton with a ‘strain’. We’ll have a further update this afternoon, but for now here’s the latest from Darren Moore:

“From Saturday he picked up a slight strain. It was possible for him to play tonight, but I didn’t want to risk him… I expect him back in training in the next 24-48 hours, and hopefully he’ll be ok.”

Could we see Paterson rested in the coming weeks?

Injury updates on the likes of Lee Gregory, Josh Windass and George Byers, who has been in excellent form of late.
