Lee Bullen, the Sheffield Wednesday caretaker manager, has made one change to his starting line-up for the clash with Preston North End at Deepdale.

The Scot has handed a first-team recall to Kieran Lee, with former Lilywhites loanee Adam Reach dropping to the bench.

Full-back Liam Palmer (back) misses out for the second match running as the Owls chase a fourth victory in five Championship matches.

Centre-forward Atdhe Nuhiu is preferred to Sam Winnall on the bench.
