Sheffield Wednesday vs Burton Albion LIVE
Key Events
- Darren Moore makes two changes
- A win tonight would match Sheffield Wednesday’s best run since 2011/12 promotion-winning season
- The Owls have won six of their last seven matches
- Burton have just one win in six
Bannan hits the bar!
A cross into the box from Johnson isn’t cleared and falls to Bannan on the edge of the area, who strikes it against the bar via a deflection. Unlucky.
Dangerous moment
The Owls are guilty of dilly-dallying with it at the back and Burton steal the ball back up high and almost get a shot off. A let off.
First chance falls to the Owls
A nice one-two between Liam Palmer and Barry Bannan on the right-hand side sees the ball delivered into a dangerous position, it evades everyone and falls to Marvin Johnson at the back post but his effort is palmed over the bar.
The resultant corner comes to nothing.
Second start for Gibson
Tonight is just Lewis Gibson’s second start of an injury-interrupted season.
The left-sided centre-half has been used off the bench in the last two matches, but is yet to complete 90 minutes this term.
