Hello and welcome to The Star’s live matchday blog for Sheffield Wednesday’s visit of Cambridge United.

The Owls are looking to get back to winning ways following the disappointment of last weekend’s defeat to Lincoln and could move back into the play-off places with a victory.

Hillsborough is fast becoming a tough place to come for away teams; Wednesday have won five of their last six matches here and have scored in almost every home game this season.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Cambridge United LIVE

Key Events

  • The Owls could move up to fifth in the League One table with a win
  • Sheffield Wednesday have won five of their last six matches at Hillsborough
  • Top-scorer Lee Gregory returns to the starting XI

Johnson almost finds a man

He cuts inside from the left, dances past a few defenders, and crosses low before the ball is beaten away by Cambridge keeper Dimitar Mitov.

Good work from the LWB.

Their first real attack so far forces a corner, but the Wednesday defence deal with it.

Owls pressure continues

Sheffield Wednesday are keeping the pressure on after those early goals, it’s like a training drill of attack vs defence.

This could be the best they have started a game all season.

Watch those Wednesday goals

A screamer! That was at least 25 yards out. Again the Owls win the ball back in Cambridge’s half and drive towards goal.

The space opened up for Bannan, who let fly with his left foot. Blimey, that’s a contender for goal of the season.

GOAL - 1-0 Wednesday

Lee Gregory presses high and blocks a clearance before running onto the ball and crossing for Berahino. A Cambridge defender tries to cut the ball out but deflects it into his own net.

First bit of pressure from the home side results in a goal.

Hi Ho goes up. Kick-off moments away...

The return of Lee Gregory is a big bonus for Sheffield Wednesday and gives them the ‘proper’ number nine they have been missing. If he can get himself going it will play a huge part in the rest of their season. He’ll be targeting 15 goals, you’d think.

Moore has stuck with Sam Hutchinson and Jordan Storey as two pillars of the back three but Lewis Gibson drops in to give him the balance he so famously enjoys.

Gibson’s influence can be massive - at starting attacks as much as stopping them.

The midfield five remains, meaning there’s no spot for Moore favourite Liam Palmer, who drops to the bench.

Saido Berahino gets the nod ahead of Callum Paterson up top with Gregory. Paterson is one yellow card from a two-match ban.
