Sheffield Wednesday are finally back in action tonight for the first time since taking on Crewe on December 11 as the Owls travel to face fellow promotion hopefuls Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The long period with a game due to a Covid outbreak amongst the ranks at Wednesday will surely make it a tough ask for the Owls to get back into their stride against one of the Division’s top sides and it will be interesting to see the line-up that Darren Moore goes for.

We have live updates here throughout the night.

45: Four minutes added time to be played

Blow it up ref, for goodness sake!

Peacock-Farrell tips over the bar after a fine drive from Embleton. Wednesday need half time quickly to regroup - they are all over the place!

Not great defending again. Flanaghan heads a corner back across goal and Callum Doyle nods in at the back post unmarked. BPG tried to shovel it out but it hit an Owls defender and went in. Could well have been over the line already anyway

36mins: Goal Sunderland

Hunt gives the ball away, straight to Pritchard who runs through and slips a nice pass into the path of Stewart who finishes well past BPF. A bit too easy for the hosts

33mins: Hunt with a chance

Jack Hunt goe son a great run, taking the ball to the edge of the box before unleashng a fierce drive which is parries by Hoffmann and then gathered at the second attempt. Another good stop from the keeper

Here’s that Sunderland goal - make your own mind up

We thought it was tight but on closer viewing Stewart looks offside

27mins: Substitution in the Owls defence

Chey Dunkley has just been receiving treatment and is now coming off for Ciaran Brennan. Dunkley isn’t happy with the decision as he has a bit of a strop when he comes off. Clearly felt he could have played on

26mins: Bannan saves

Wednesday’s high defensive line is beaten again as Stewart races down the left and towards goal but Barry Bannan gets back to put in an excellent saving tackle. Stewart might have just beaten the offside trap that time but again it was tight
