Ex-Sheffield Wednesday boss named favourite to join local rivals, Swansea City eye ex-wonderkid

Sheffield Wednesday's draw with Nottingham Forest last weekend was enough to take their relegation battle down to the final game of the season, after Derby County slipped up against Swansea City.

The Owls and the Rams will meet at Pride Park this Saturday afternoon, and, should Rotherham United fail to win either of their remaining two matches, a win for Wednesday would see them leapfrog both sides to secure safety in the most dramatic fashion.

Speaking after last weekend's dramatic action came to a close, Derby boss Wayne Rooney revealed: “We know we have to win the game next week, I think that’s simple… The preparations this week won’t be anything crazy or drastic – there won’t be big changes and we’re prepare the way we prepare for any game.

“It’s on us to get the players ready, and we have to go and win. We don’t’ have to look over our shoulders to find out how they’re getting on, because we’ll have them in front of us. It’s a game where we have to want it more, and I’ll make sure the players are ready.

“If win the game, and we have a big chance of staying up.”

Meanwhile, the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust are calling for answers after a national media report claimed the club have failed to pay the team's wages for the month of April.
