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.
5. RWB - Liam Palmer
The wide positions will be very important if Burton elect to sit in a low block and Palmer has the ability to take up intelligent positions - he’s excelled in creating overloads this season in particular. Adeniran of course has a huge shout to stay wide after his man of the match offering - but who knows? Photo: Steve Ellis
6. CM - Dennis Adeniran
Full of confidence after a two-goal showing on Monday, Adeniran may well start out wide but with a question mark hanging over James, there’s a spot to fill in midfield and he could well be pushed inside to fill it. Will need to be at the top of his game technically. Photo: Steve Ellis Steve Ellis
7. CM - Will Vaulks
Oxford aside, Vaulks has been an impressive performer in this run and has fast become a man whose performance is hugely impactful on the entire side. Will play. Photo: George Wood
8. CM - Barry Bannan
Will be a key man operating in the half-spaces and doing his thing unpicking whatever lock Burton throw up in Wednesday’s face. Against Oxford and Accrington he offered those little moments of quality that make all the difference and he remains Wednesday’s most important figure. | Getty Images
