Owls aiming for more away day joy

Last updated : 17 March 2015 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday evening looking for their 9th away win of the season.

The Owls look set to be without Liam Palmer and Will Keane as the pair both limped out of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Fulham during the first half. Palmer is likely to be replaced by either Marnick Vermijl or Lewis Buxton and Stevie May is expected to come in for Keane after he made a goal-scoring impact from the bench at the weekend.

Glenn Loovens, Sergiu Bus and Jose Semedo are unlikely to return from injury at this stage but Caolan Lavery has been recalled from a spell on loan at Chesterfield and offers another attacking option.

Wolves are without goalkeeper Carl Ikeme with former Manchester United keeper Thomas Kuszczak expected to continue to deputise for him. Defender Dominic Iorfa is closing in on a return from a minor ankle injury but is not expected to be risked for this game. Former Owls loan players Danny Batth and Benik Afobe are likely to be in the starting line-up for the home side.

The Owls are in decent form having won 3 of their last 5, including 2 wins from their last 2 away games although they were both against sides in the bottom 3 in the Championship table.

Wolves haven't won any of their last 3 but have only lost 1 of their last 6 matches and are currently just 3 points adrift of a play-off place in their first season back in the Championship following promotion from League One.

Wednesday suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat when the two side met at Hillsborough in December and they have only won 7 times in 51 away games at Wolves.
