Sheffield Wednesday are stuck in a rut as they’ll be looking for just their second win in ten attempts this afternoon.
The Owls were defeated in midweek by Championship basement boys Luton Town, meaning the south Yorkshiremen are now nine points from being in the playoff picture.
Garry Monk’s side welcome Reading to Hillsborough, who themselves also lost in midweek to league leaders West Brom.
So will the 40-year-old alter his starting lineup at all? Here’s what we are predicting…
Monk surprisingly started with a three-at-the-back formation at Kenilworth Road but that experiment was quickly shut down by half-time so that is surely unlikely to return.
He could, however, make as many as four changes as the Owls revert back to a 4-2-3-1 formation.
