Last updated : 16 May 2016 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday make the long trip south for the 2nd leg of the Championship play-off semi-final on Tuesday. The Owls hold a 2-0 lead from Friday's 1st leg but know that there is plenty of work ahead if they are to secure a place in the play-off final.

Wednesday have not reported any fresh injury concerns following the 1st leg and Carlos Carvalhal is not expected to make many if any changes at all to his starting line-up.

By contrast Brighton had 4 players limp out of the first leg. Defender Connor Goldson, midfielder Steve Sidwell and attacking players Anthony Knockaert and Tomer Hemed are all unlikely to recover in time to start the match.

Midfielder Dale Stephens remains suspended but centre-back Lewis Dunk will return having completed a 2-match ban. Former Sheffield United winger Jamie Murphy and ex Manchester United striker James Wilson are expected to feature.

The two sides played out a 0-0 draw the last time they met at the Amex stadium in March.
