Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to bounce back from their miserable night against Notts County in Saturday’s South Yorkshire derby against Doncaster Rovers.
Henrik Pedersen’s side were well-beaten at Meadow Lane in midweek but they have the opportunity to put that behind them and climb back into the play-offs this weekend.
With injuries and suspensions in the squad, Pedersen will have to shuffle the pack against Rovers, who are 19th in League One.
Let’s take a look at how they could line-up...

The 29-year-old will probably start at left-back or left-sided centre-half. If it is the latter, Reece James will keep his usual spot. | Getty Images
6. Billy Mitchell - CM
Henrik Pedersen spoke about Wednesday not matching Notts County's power or winning enough duels on Tuesday night. Those are two of Mitchell's best qualities. | Steve Ellis
7. Barry Bannan - CM
Rovers are a possession-based attacking team. This game might suit him more than midweek when he was brought off after an hour.
8. Kieran Morrison - RW
Not started the last two but has looked bright off the bench. With Slattery suspended, Morrison seems the obvious choice to come back in. | Steve Ellis
