Two big returns and some scrap in Sheffield Wednesday Predicted XI for vital Rotherham United battle

Sheffield Wednesday are limbering up for the first of 12 more cup finals - as Danny Röhl has put it - though this one maybe means just that little bit more.

Rotherham United will play host to the Owls surely desperate to give their fans something to shout about as their own survival campaign continues to dwindle. They'd have more than the added bonus of putting a serious dint in that of their fiercest rivals, who will arrive with three wins in four hoping to continue their edging towards the safety line.

It'll be a tightly-contested battle for sure - these games always seem to be - with late drama never far from the agenda. With players out, players maybe out and the whiff of a system switch-up to ponder, here's the Owls team we've taken a stab at starting at the New York Stadium this weekend.
