The Owls collected their first win in nearly a month on Monday - against Accrington Stanley - to regain their place back at the top of the League One table.
But they’ll face a Burton Albion side who pose different tactical questions and are - like Stanley - scrapping for their lives at the bottom end of the table.
Based on the idea that Reece James and Mallik Wilks could both use a little time off-field after their knocks on Monday, here’s the slightly controversial side we’d plump for at the Pirelli.
1. GK - Cameron Dawson
Back in the side and overseeing a first clean sheet in nearly a month, Dawson looks set to keep the gloves for the remainder of the season. Or does he? We said the same about Stockdale a week or so back. Dawson starts. Photo: Steve Ellis
2. RCB - Dominic Iorfa
Palmer dropped into the back three with Adeniran bagging two as a wing-back on Monday, but with a spot to fill in midfield potentially and Burton likely to bang it long, we’ve gone for a right-sided carousel of changes, with big man Iorfa drafted in to head bricks. Photo: Steve Ellis Steve Ellis
3. CB - Aden Flint
At his best with opposition mode of attack set skywards, Flint will be a key man on Saturday - if indeed that’s how Albion choose to go. He’s been in excellent form in the last couple.
4. LCB - Akin Famewo
Made the most successful headers of anyone in the win over Accrington Stanley and remains a key man in stating attacks. Wednesday may well have plenty of the ball at the Pirelli and with James a doubt it may well be up to Famewo to move the ball wisely and at tempo on that left. Photo: Steve Ellis
