and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Owls are on the west coast at relegation-threatened Fleetwood this evening, hoping to claim a result that would propel them back into the League One playoff places.
But they won’t have it easy against a Fleetwood side fighting for their lives just a point outside of the bottom four.

Hide AdDarren Moore will be without a handful of senior men for the clash but could welcome back one or two into contention.


A point would bring them back into the top six by virtue of goal difference over sixth-placed Wycombe Wanderers, while a win could take them as high as fourth depending on how Sunderland fare against Rotherham United.
Stay tuned below for all the very latest from Highbury.
Fleetwood Town v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE
In injury time..
..and it is nervy.
What an effort from Lee Gregory - he’s off a hat-trick hero for Chey Dunkley as Darren Moore seeks to shore things up at the back.
Fleetwood are.. deep.
Here we go then. Attack vs defence, the home side camping deep and slowing things down.
Wednesday need to be able to affect and disrupt a plan they’ve faced a lot this season.
Half-time ratings..
Peacock-Farrell - 5
Palmer - 6
Storey - 5
Hutchinson - 5
Hunt - 6
Luongo - 7
Bannan - 6
Byers - 5
Johnson - 5
Paterson - 6
Gregory - 7
SO SO CLOSE!
Bannan almost done a Cantona but hits the post, Paterson rattles one in and it’s deflected onto the bar, Gregory can’t quite bundle it home.
Lordy..
Rotherham are beating Sunderland 1-0. As results are, Plymouth, Sunderland, Wednesday and Wycombe would be level on 80 points with two goals between them on GD.
Goal. 1-1. Another avoidable goal out of nowhere. All Wednesday’s doing.
Storey’s first touch let him down, the clearance from Hutchinson was a poor one and Peacock-Farrell could have done better from Camps’ shot.
Wednesday look a class above here. Some really promising passages of play and Fleetwood can’t compete.
A ball across the face of goal is nipped behind by a defender - Jack Hunt would’ve had a tap-in.
The pitch is playing a part - the ball is holding up in the corners.
