Sunderland 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday - Darren Moore's live reaction after Owls defeat to Sunderland
and live on Freeview channel 276
A bumper crowd of over 40,000 people is expected to turn out in the North East to watch the two League One giants go head-to-head, and the two sides will be eager to try and draw first blood ahead of the second leg at Hillsborough on Monday.
Wycombe Wanderers picked up a 2-0 lead at home on Thursday night as they got off to a great start against MK Dons, and Darren Moore will be hoping that home advantage doesn’t count for as much when the Owls take on the Black Cats this evening.

The change
It’s a big one... I would imagine that Jack Hunt will feel pretty hard done to as he loses his place to Harlee Dean, with Liam Palmer going out to right wing back.
You’d think Moore’s going for the physicality that Palmer brings, and he’s certainly more defensive-minded than Hunt. But it’s still a big shout, and only time will tell if it’s the right one.
