Is there any injury news? Who is in the teams?

Owls boss Monk should have the same personnel which travelled to Ashton Gate on Sunday to choose from – as well as new striker Callum Paterson, signed from Cardiff City in midweek.

Young defender Ozase Urhoghide is next expected to be in the matchday 18 despite playing 70 minutes of the under 23s’ 1-0 defeat at Hull City on Monday as he continues his comeback from a knee injury suffered last season.

But fellow youngster Alex Hunt could be in Monk’s plans after recovering from a knee injury picked up in training last week which forced him to miss the Carabao Cup tie at Fulham and the defeat at Bristol City.

Defender Chey Dunkley, signed in the summer from relegated Wigan Athletic, is in the final stages of his rehabilitation after a double leg break playing for his former club in February but is not expected back until after the international break.

Hoops boss Mark Warburton should have a fully fit squad to choose from and could hand a debut to £2m striker Macauley Bonne, who has joined from Charlton Athletic.

Warburton is expected to give the nod to Seny Dieng in goal ahead of Joe Lumley after the Swiss ‘keeper, who spent last season on loan at Doncaster Rovers, impressed on his debut in the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at the weekend.
