Team News

Sheff Wed
Preston
  • Xisco Munoz could make a host of changes again this weekend with new signings Momo Diaby and Djeidi Gassama thrust straight into the starting line-up.
  • The Owls last star man and key playmaker Barry Bannan to injury last weekend with the Scottish international set to miss the visit of Preston on Saturday.
  • Ryan Lowe will likely opt for an unchanged starting XI following an impressive display last Saturday.
  • Right-back Calvin Ramsay remains sidelined for the visitors after he was left out of the squad that faced Sunderland last weekend.

Prediction

  • The size of the task facing Xisco Munoz and Sheffield Wednesday this season was showcased last Saturday when the Owls were hammered 4-2 by an Ozan Tufan-inspired Hull side. The hosts have shipped six goals in their opening two league games this year and are yet to claim their first points of the season.
  • A typically understated summer transfer window has been met with a typically pessimistic reception among the Preston fanbase this season, but four points from a possible six represent an impressive start to the campaign for Ryan Lowe's men. The Lilywhites produced an organised display at both ends to beat top-six hopefuls Sunderland 2-1 last time out.
