Sheffield Wednesday team news
Three changes for Sheffield Wednesday as Liam Palmer, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Saido Berahino replace Sam Hutchinson, Massimo Luongo and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.
Neither Dennis Adeniran or Lewis Gibson make the bench.
A twist in the promotion race?
League leaders Wigan currently trail 2-0 at home to Cambridge.
MK Dons could move within just one point of the Latics if the result stays the same and they beat Sheffield Wednesday.
It’ll be full time in Wigan’s game by the time this one kicks off, meaning the Dons will know what they have to do.
Could Theo Corbeanu play a big role tonight?
The Canadian international made 18 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday before being recalled by parent club Wolves in January.
He later joined the Dons, where he has scored once in 13 games.
Corbeanu hasn’t started since March, but has appeared off the bench in the last three matches.
Don’t be surprised if he gets the nod to start tonight. Team news to come in about an hour...
Wednesday’s away record - is it that bad?
In short, no. But it’s hardly great either, just average.
They have won six of their 20 matches on the road this term, with eight draws and six defeats. That puts them eleventh in the League One away table.
Wednesday may not have won away since February, but they have only been on their travels three times since then.
One reason for the added emphasis on the Owls’ pretty average away record is because of how strong they are at home.
Darren Moore’s side have the best home record in England’s top four divisions.
It’s also worth noting that MK Dons’ record at home is hardly intimidating.
They have won 12 of their 21 games at Stadium MK and have been beaten four times on their own turf.
