There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Sheffield Wednesday gaffer Danny Röhl to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Juan Delgado (Hip injury) won’t play.

It seems likely that The Owls should go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, handing starts to James Beadle, Dominic Iorfa, Bambo Diaby, Michael Ihiekwe, Akin Famewo, Barry Bannan, Will Vaulks, Anthony Musaba, Josh Windass, Djeidi Gassama and Iké Ugbo.

Norwich City manager David Wagner has some current player fitness concerns. Jonathan Rowe (Hamstring injury), Grant Hanley (unknown injury) and Dimitrios Giannoulis (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.
