Watch Charlie McNeill's brace for Sheffield Wednesday against Preston North End

The Owls take on the Lilywhites at Hillsborough at 3pm today, with Henrik Pedersen and his men looking to finally pick up their first home victory of the season. They’re also winless in 11 matches, and desperately want to get to zero points following their 12-point deduction.

But things certainly won’t be easy at S6 as Wednesday go into the game without the suspended Dominic Iorfa, and now it’s been revealed that neither Max Lowe nor Liam Cooper are available to start, either. Lowe is missing from the matchday squad altogether, while Nathan Redmond makes the bench and could come on for his debut later today.

Liam Palmer and Gabriel Otegbayo come into defence after what looks like a switch to a back four, while Jamal Lowe is reinstated to the XI as well. For the opponents, former Owls, Pol Valentin and Michael Smith, are on the bench. Jordan Storey starts.

And Wednesday started like a house on fire, with Harry Amass finding McNeill, and the attacker finishing with aplomb:

Unfortunately the lead didn’t last long, with Ben Whiteman levelling up for the visitors not long after. But that also didn’t last too long, with McNeill giving Wednesday the lead once again:

Lewis Dobbin equalised in the second half, though, and it’s 2-2.

Here’s how the two teams line up -

Sheffield Wednesday vs Preston North End

Wednesday XI: Horvath, Fusire, Palmer, Otegbayo, Amass, Ingelsson, Valery, Bannan, J. Lowe, McNeill, Cadamarteri

Preston XI: Iversen, Whiteman, Lindsay, Jebbison, Storey, Thompson, Hughes, Dobbin, Devine, Small, Offiah
