Sheffield Wednesday will be targeting a first Championship home win of the season when they welcome Middlesbrough to Hillsborough on Wednesday evening.
The Owls, who are understood to owe a significant further sum to HMRC this week, suffered a second successive defeat last time out, losing 2-1 to Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Saturday afternoon.
The visit of Middlesbrough to S6 is poised to be overshadowed by a mass boycott, with Owls supporters being urged to stay away by the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust in their latest protest effort against Dejphon Chansiri. The game has been identified as an ample opportunity to stage a protest of this nature because it is being screened live on Sky Sports.
Ahead of the clash with Rob Edwards’ side, who will be hoping to strengthen their grip on one of the automatic promotion places this evening, here is how The Star thinks the Owls could line up this evening:
9. Harry Amass
Amass has offered plenty of promise since joining Wednesday from Manchester United on loan last month. He is earning the regular game time he needed, ensuring United are getting what they wanted out of his switch to Hillsborough. He has started every game since joining the Owls. | UGC
10. Bailey Cadamarteri
After being introduced from the bench against Charlton at the weekend, one would expect Cadamarteri to be reinstated to the starting XI against Middlesbrough. He has started every Championship game this season except for the two that have immediately followed an international break and his time away with Jamaica. | UGC
11. Jamal Lowe
With two goals in his last three games, Lowe will be keen to add more goals to his collection. He will be eyeing a fourth successive Championship start for the first time in over a year. | UGC
