Middlesbrough v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE: Owls lose but hope remains (somehow)
Key Events
- Wednesday won last time out against Blackburn Rovers
- A defeat, and a win for Derby, would send them down
- The Owls will be without Darren Moore once again
So there’s a start for Andre Green, just his second since joining from Villa and that’s one of two changes from the team that beat Blackburn on Tuesday. Rhodes looked a little jaded when he came off in that match in the week and he’s replaced by Callum Paterson. Apart from that, it’s as you were with Kadeem Harris the man making way for Green

A Boro update
From the Wednesday website: Defender Grant Hall is a doubt for the clash with Wednesday after suffering a head injury against Rotherham in midweek.
Hall required several stitches after a clash of heads with Millers midfielder Matt Crooks, who was sent off for the challenge.
Djed Spence and Hayden Coulson could return to the squad after missing out against Rotherham through injury and illness, respectively.
