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.
9. LWB - Marvin Johnson
Put respect on his name! A vital figure, a constant outlet and Wednesday’s best operator in wide positions, creating overloads and using the ball wisely in tight areas. Photo: Tim Goode
10. CF - Lee Gregory
Vitally important in just about everything he does and has provided a goal threat even when Wednesday have been at their most stuttering. Showing no signs of tiring despite a heavy workload late in the season. Photo: Adam Davy
11. CF - Callum Paterson
The big man returneth! A bright showing off the bench on Monday could lead to a bigger opportunity this weekend, though there will be concern over his workload. If Mallik Wilks is fit and available, he may be a safer option but in a physical battle Paterson could well be the better option even considering Wilks’ relative form. Photo: Steve Ellis
