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
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.
What a start..
Lee Gregory shows there why he was a Championship striker for so long, holding off the defender, blitzing his way into the box and finishing with real class.
The Owls have started the brighter of the two sides.
