The Owls skipper and his long-term teammate will play their 300th and 200th games for the Owls this afternoon at Hillsborough as they go up against the Robins, and will be hoping to top off their day with a good home victory.

Darren Moore has made a couple of changes to the XI that he named for the 0-0 draw with Gillingham a week ago, with Chey Dunkley and Callum Paterson making way for Harlee Dean and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who are both making their first starts since returning from their respective injuries.
