Changes, fill-ins and unknowns - Sheffield Wednesday predicted XI for Plymouth Argyle

Sheffield Wednesday welcome Plymouth Argyle to Hillsborough this weekend.

As the frivolity of predicted line-ups go, this one might just be the trickiest.

Sheffield Wednesday not only have a list of unavailability cases in key areas, but there are a number of important figures in the maybe column - Joe Lumley, Liam Cooper, Billy Mitchell and Louie Barry would be big names in most League One squads.

With no recognised left wing-back available, will Dave Challinor be tempted to switch-up his preference for a back three system or will there be a solution sort out wide? How will things be set-up up-top? How about at centre-half?

We’ve taken three spins to throw some darts with a blindfold on to predict the side for a battle with the Pilgrims - in what will be Challinor’s first proper experience of Hillsborough.
