'Dropping Rhodes is a mistake' - Sheffield Wednesday fans react to Garry Monk's team to face Bristol City
and live on Freeview channel 276
However, the Owls boss has made just two alterations to his starting XI from the side which drew 0-0 with Watford in the Championship at Hillsborough eight days ago.
Liam Palmer has been given the nod ahead of Matt Penney – who has not been named in the matchday squad – in the wing back role while summer signing Elias Kachunga partners Josh Windass in attack.

Today’s starting line-up is: Dawson; Iorfa, Lees, van Aken; Palmer, Luongo, Bannan, Brown, Harris; Kachunga, Windass. Substitutes: Wildsmith, Pelupessy, Dele-Bashiru, Rhodes, Reach, Odubajo, Borner.
Here’s how Owls fans on Twitter have reacted to today’s team news.
@gamblin4alcohol Rhodes must be scratching his head again. Exactly the same happened after restart last season. Played well, as did the team, dropped and then the results and performances went downhill.

Hide Ad@chrisma5on Dropping Rhodes is a mistake, we may as well pay his contract up and let him go. Getting his confidence and trying to find a bit of his form won’t happen with him on the bench
@hangonrose Think we have to accept the manager knows better than we do. He sees Rhodes every day.
@DutchMcLovin Where’s Penney ????
@MackGray4 Not sure where the goals are coming from, but certainly a lot of work-rate in the line up.
@aranbonnington Should be Odubajo over Palmer, Shaw on bench over Borner, Penney on bench and Hunt on bench over Pelupessy
@BonningtonAlex I'd go Odubajo over Palmer but good team
@AnalyticsOwls No surprises with today's line up then!
