Team News

Sheff Wed
Leeds
  • Sheffield Wednesday were overrun in midfield by Sunderland last weekend, so Danny Röhl could bring in the more defensive presence of Liam Palmer to shore things up against tough opposition in gameweek three.
  • Goalkeeper Ben Hamer remains the home side's only confirmed absentee ahead of the visit of Leeds on Friday evening.
  • With Georginio Rutter out the exit door, Daniel Farke has a sizeable hole to fill in behind Mateo Joseph. Joel Piroe was called upon against West Brom, but Brenden Aaronson could get the nod on Friday night.
  • The Whites have no injuries to contend with, so Farke has a full squad to select from at Hillsborough.

Prediction

  • Sheffield Wednesday rolled into the Stadium of Light brimming with confidence after hammering Plymouth 4-0 on the opening weekend, but the grin was wiped off their faces by an impressive Sunderland side.
  • The Owls were 3-0 down inside 24 minutes and eventually went on to lose 4-0, bringing their goal difference tally back to zero ahead of this Yorkshire derby.
  • Leeds found the target with just one of their eight attempts on goal last time out as they were stifled by Carlos Corberan's West Brom side at the Hawthorns.
  • Frustration is growing amongst the Leeds fanbase as Daniel Farke's side continue to hunt for their first league victory of the campaign.
