Sheffield Wednesday v Cheltenham Town - All the updates as Owls name gung-ho XI against Robins
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls put in a good performance down at Home Park, however were sucker-punched in extra time as Sam Cosgrove gave the Pilgrims an important win that kept them top of the League One table.
If they’re to make sure that they don’t lose any ground on the top two, Darren Moore’s side need maximum points at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, but will need to see off a side that have won four of their last five matches and beat Bolton Wanderers earlier this week. So it’s no easy task.

A big blow
The main bit of team news from the Robins side is that key man, Alfie May, has been ruled out for a couple of months with an injury... He scored against the Owls last season, and has been the main goal contributor for Cheltenham for a while now - him not being available is certainly a blow for the visitors.
