Sheffield Wednesday youngsters out to upset Sheffield United in hunt for silverware

The young Owls have had a couple of tough results of late after drawing and losing to fellow title contenders, Coventry City and Barnsley, respectively, however they do find themselves in the running going into the final few matches.

At this point in time the talented young side find themselves in third place after 18 games, however the current leaders, Sheffield United, do have a game in hand on top of their three-point lead over Wednesday.

The Owls’ youngsters have five games left to play before the season comes to close - three of which are at home - as they look to try and leapfrog their bitter rivals at the top of the table.

Andy Holdsworth’s side take on Watford away tomorrow afternoon before returning home to face Swansea City a week later.

They’re back on the road for an away trip to Cardiff City on April 23rd, then take on Hull City and Charlton Athletic on the two following weekends at Middlewood Road as the campaign comes to an end.

Wednesday will need the Blades to slip up if they're to have a chance of climbing back on top of the table by the time things wrap up, though their opponents from across the city don’t seem to be showing any signs of slowing having won all of their last seven games – including back-to-back wins over the Owls in February.

Several of Holdsworth’s U18s are now also playing in Wednesday’s U23s having made the step up in recent weeks.
