Top six duo go head to head in Yorkshire derby

Last updated : 25 February 2017 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday make the short trip to Leeds on Saturday with both sides looking to get a firmer grasp on a top 6 spot in the Championship.

Wednesday could welcome back striker Gary Hooper from a lengthy injury lay-off though he is unlikely to start the game. Morgan Fox should be fit enough to be in contention but former Leeds centre-back Tom Lees is not expected to feature.

Leeds will be without full-back Charlie Taylor but other than that the home side will be able to pick from a pretty much full-strength squad.

The Owls come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Brentford in midweek though they had won their previous 4 games.

Leeds were held to a 1-1 draw at Ipswich last weekend and beat Bristol City 2-1 in their last game at home

The West Yorkshire side won 2-0 at Hillsborough back in August and the Owls have not won on their last 4 visits to Elland Road.
