The match, which will take place behind closed doors at the facility they’ve called home for the past few days, kicks off at midday and will be available to watch free of charge on YouTube. The Star will also be providing live coverage.

It is understood that Wednesday will have a full squad to choose from, though it is unclear whether new face Chey Dunkley will feature as he enters the final stages of his recovery from a double-leg break he suffered in February.

Leicester, who looked well-set for Champions League qualification before a late-season collapse last season, are further on in their preparations having beaten Birmingham 2-0 earlier this week.

Speaking to The Star, Wednesday winger Kadeem Harris said the Owls are looking forward to the challenge after a successful training camp in the Midlands.

“We want to take everything we've been working on in terms of our shape and style into the game,” he said.

“We don't know who or how they're going to play or how they're going to set up, but it's important we take in what we've learned in this couple of weeks.

“It's a fitness building session as well, we want to get that win and momentum going into the season but it's important that everyone gets through it and we treat it like a normal game.”
