New Sheffield Wednesday signing to debut as XI is revealed to face Wrexham

Henrik Pedersen has named his Sheffield Wednesday XI to face Wrexham this afternoon, and there’s a debut coming.

The Owls are on their longest winless run of all time, but will be desperate to end that this afternoon when the Welsh side visit Hillsborough in what will be the first game of the post-Barry Bannan era - Liam Palmer starts as he leads out his boyhood club for the first time as outright captain.

New signing, Jerry Yates, goes straight into the side as he starts up front alongside Bailey Cadamarteri, while both Liam Cooper and Yan Valery have returned to the XI as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Josh Windass starts for Phil Parkinson’s side on his first return to S6, and everyone of a Wednesday persuasion knows the damage that he can do on his day.

Here’s how the two teams line up:

Sheffield Wednesday vs Wrexham

Wednesday XI: M. Cooper, Palmer, Valery, L. Cooper, Otegbayo, Johnson, Heskey, Ingelsson, Lowe, Cadamarteri, Yates

Wrexham XI: Okonkwo, Cleworth, Hyam, Doyle, Kabore, James, Sheaf, Cacace, Broadhead, Windass, Smith
