Sheffield Wednesday welcome Rotherham United to Hillsborough in a battle of the strugglers, the Millers fresh off a confidence-building win but low on away form, the Owls searching for a vital first win of the campaign.
But they will be bouyed by the fact Wednesday performances have seen an upturn in the last couple of matches - though ultimately they’ve come away empty-handed from their two matches under new boss Danny Röhl.
It’s hard to catch too much of a handle on the way they might shape up at this stage - but here’s a predicted line-up from the Wednesday side.

10. CF - Josh Windass
A really key man in this Wednesday set-up, Windass will be important going forward. A goal could really get him going. | Steve Ellis
11. CF - Callum Paterson
Left out of the long trip to Plymouth with a minor issue with his legs. Could come back in to offer energy and aerial threat. This spot could go to anyone of the forward line - Michael Smith would surely fancy a run-out against his old side, too. | Steve Ellis
