Sheffield Wednesday take on Coventry City at Hillsborough tomorrow, rock bottom of the Championship table and more going on off the pitch that manager Tony Pulis could really do without.

It transpired this week that Wednesday players’ wages have not been paid in full and on time and with the manager yet to taste victory since taking charge last month Pulis needs as few distractions as possible.

There’s a lack of goals and creativity, defensive frailty and an overall feeling of apathy from supporters heading into the busy Christmas period, all of which will be on the agenda as Pulis speaks to the media today.
