Sheffield Wednesday will be hosting the opposing visitors Southampton at Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship fixture on Saturday. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.

Sheffield Wednesday won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-0 Championship loss in their previous game against Norwich City. It looks as if The Owls may well use the 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Logan Stretch, Liam Palmer, Dominic Iorfa, Cole McGhee, Omotayo Adaramola, Jaden Heskey, Svante Ingelsson, Charlie McNeill, Jamal Lowe, Joel Ndala and Jarvis Thornton.

Murphy Cooper and Guilherme Siqueira are not available for Sheff Wed manager Henrik Pedersen.

How Sheffield Wednesday could look against Southampton

Southampton will come into the game following a 5-0 Championship win vs Queens Park Rangers in their previous outing. We are inclined to think that The Saints will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Daniel Peretz, James Bree, T. Harwood-Bellis, Jack Stephens, Ryan Manning, Caspar Jander, Flynn Downes, Kuryu Matsuki, Finn Azaz, Léo Scienza and Cyle Larin.

S'hampton boss Tonda Eckert has some current player fitness concerns. Alex McCarthy (Wrist injury), Cyle Larin (Hamstring injury) and Mads Roerslev (Knee injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
