The Owls could move into the play-offs with victory against the Dons, who are without a win in their last five and have failed to keep a clean sheet in the league all season.

Today’s clash will be the first-ever competitive meeting between the two sides since AFC Wimbledon’s formation.

Key Events

  • THREE changes for Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon
  • The Owls could move into the play-offs with a win
  • First-ever competitive meeting between Sheffield Wednesday and AFC Wimbledon
  • Darren Moore’s side are looking to record back-to-back wins in the league for the first time since August

Bannan slips it through to Gregory following a free-flowing move from the Owls in the Wimbledon half. He shifts the ball onto his left foot and bends it into the bottom right corner. Good team goal.

Brown with the first chance

Jaden Brown latches onto a through ball from Bannan and get a cross-cum-shot away, which is saved by the legs of the Wimbledon keeper.

The Owls are going to need to work the ball well to find space on this tight surface.

Dons dominate opening exchanges

Wimbledon have enjoyed the better of it in the opening 10 minutes with more of the ball, but neither side has created anything yet.

Wild from Wildsmith

The keeper fluffs a clearance which Palmer manages to hack clear before a Wimbledon striker gets onto the loose ball.

Joe Wildsmith is down clutching his head after coming to punch a free-kick to safety. The delivery caused Wednesday’s defence a bit of trouble and almost allowed Wimbledon a shot at goal.

The home side get us started. Sheffield Wednesday’s players are in their pink away strip.

The Owls’ players opted against taking the knee before kick-off.

We think it could be 3-5-2, with Liam Palmer the third centre-half alongside Dom Iorfa and Chey Dunkley.

Jaden Brown is left wing-back, with Jack Hunt on the right.

FDB, Lewis Wing and Barry Bannan are in the middle as Callum Paterson and Lee Gregory lead the line.
