Port Vale 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday: Watch Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's powerful Owls winner
Wednesday make the trip to Vale Park as Darren Moore gets one last chance to try out any formations or combinations that he might want to experiment with before competitive football returns this coming weekend, and there’s the potential for three new signings to get their first runouts since signing for the club.
Jack Hunt, who re-joined the Owls last week, as well as loan signings, Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Lewis Wing, could all possibly feature in this evening’s encounter, and fans will be eager to see how Moore sets up ahead of the visit of Huddersfield Town on Sunday.

Port Vale v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE: New signings play their part in final friendly
Key Events
- Wednesday signed two new players today - both start, as does Jack Hunt
- It’s SWFC’s last preseason friendly
- Josh Windass and Barry Bannan miss out
- Peacock-Farrell, Hunt, Iorfa, Hutchinson, Palmer, Wing, Luongo, Adeniran, Green, Shodipo, Adedoyin.
Vale’s turn to attack...
The hosts have a corner, which is punched away - just by BPF. The resulting throw-in is also dealt with.
Great work from Shodipo down the left, and he finds a way through to Adedoyin. He’s got his back to goal, but tries a cheeky scooped backheel - it’s saved, but that would’ve been lovely.
A bit risky that...
BPF with the ball at his feet, but his touch isn’t great and it’s out for a corner. He’ll be glad nothing came of that.
BPF forced into his first save - it moved in the air a bit there after Adeniran lost the ball, but the new Owls stopper did enough to deal with it.
It looks like a 4-3-3 from Wednesday today, with Palmer at LB and Hunt coming into his expected position at RB... Luongo and Adeniran with Wing in front of them, and then Adedoyin leading the line as Green and Shodipo take their place on the flanks.
There are no trialists, and no Cameron Dawson, but Hagan is back on the bench after shrugging off the knock that kept him out of the last friendly.
