Sheffield Wednesday - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[BelfastAndy]

Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal could make changes after successive defeats by Sheffield United and Birmingham City.

Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood (ribs) could return after missing the loss at Blues.

Leeds United are without defender Liam Cooper after his red card in the defeat by Cardiff City, so Matthew Pennington is set to start.

Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga is likely to come back in after being an unused substitute in that game.

1-1 but hoping for a win..local derby so expect the unexpected.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

2-1 to Leeds I reckon, with a lineup of wiedwald ayling berardi jansson Pennington O'Kane Phillips alioski Hernandez saiz lasogga, that's what I think tc will pick, don't think my lineup would be too different from that in fairness, depends whether tc thinks roofe and Dallas on the wings might work better perhaps, I don't know, I'm not head coach.

Lasogga was left out due to his busy schedule, not sure why saiz was dropped, maybe fatigue as he had played most games available up to now, okane and Anita I think both had minor injuries.

Can't wait for the match, its gonna be a good one, MOT!!!

Strong team was hoping vieira might of got a start.

Wiedwald, Ayling, Pennington, Jansson, Berardi, Phillips, O'Kane, Roofe, Saiz, Alioski, Lasogga

[magnificowhite]

Surprised alioski keeps his place over Dallas. And maybe viera for Phillips would have been good to see.

[magnificowhite]

Glad to see roofe keeps his place. No real blame on him for having to work his arse off with no real supply last time out. It wasn't coincidence we played better second half when he dropped off.
