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

In The Star this morning...

Eyup, and welcome...

It’s still do-or-die, Wednesday are very much still in deep trouble, but the win over Blackburn Rovers earlier this week gave them a glimmer of hope.

The Owls face Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough today, and could potentially leapfrog Rotherham United if results go their way, but they could also be relegated if they are beaten and Derby County get three points against Birmingham City.

They’re on a knife edge, and today could be the day they face the fact that League One is on the cards. But it could also be the day their survival chances are given a huge boost. Defeat isn’t really an option. We’ll be without you throughout the day to bring you all the news and updates from the Riverside and more.
