Sheffield Wednesday host Charlton Athletic this afternoon in their latest bid to get back into the League One Play-Off positions.

Wednesday were back to winning ways last week as they secured a 3-1 victory over Doncaster Rovers to close the gap on the top six, however results elsewhere – and a host of midweek games this week – meant that the Owls weren’t able to climb back into the all-important spots.

Darren Moore will be hoping that that can change this afternoon though, with his side knowing that three points coupled with favourable results Plymouth Argyle, Sunderland and/or Wycombe Wanderers would be enough for them to possibly go as high as fifth.

Key Events

  • Wednesday are looking to get back to winning ways at home
  • Sam Hutchinson is back for SWFC
  • Dominic Iorfa returns to the squad

Paterson from close range, another assist for Johnson. Wednesday double it up.

A lovely touch from Berahino in the box, and it’s out for a corner as it’s cleared... The corner finds Johnson, who strikes from the edge of the box, and it’s blocked for another corner.

Charlton forced into an early sub as Dialleng Jaiyesimi comes on for Adam Matthews.

A round of applause for Dominic Iorfa as he does a bit of warming up on the near side here... It’s been 126 days since his last Wednesday appearance - great to see him back.

Barry Bannan drops a shoulder to beat his man, and fires it just wide of the far post from the edge of the box. Decent effort.

There’s a long stoppage here as Adam Matthews goes down following a collision with Saido Berahino. He’s up now, but that’ll be a bit of time added on at the end of this half.

Wednesday in control

The tempo has slowed down a bit now, and Wednesday aren’t asking as many questions, but still look quite in control.

But as I’m typing a dangerous cross heads into the Owls box, but it evades all of the Charlton players and goes out for a goal kick.

Top notch sliding tackle from Hutchinson

And it’s George Byers once again! A lovely flicked header finds the back of the net after a peach of a ball into the box from Barry Bannan. Wednesday lead.
