Tough TV test for Owls against top of the table Terriers

Last updated : 14 October 2016 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday make the short trip to high flying Huddersfield Town on Sunday lunchtime as they look to close ground on the league leaders.

The Owls hope to have a strong squad to choose from, Keiren Westwood, Sam Hutchinson and Daniel Pudil all suffered injuries prior to the international break but could be back in contention and midfielder Almen Abdi has recovered from illness.

Scottish duo Steven Fletcher and Barry Bannan have returned unscathed from international duty.

Huddersfield are without forward Joe Lolley as he continues his recovery process from a foot injury, defender Chris Schindler is expected to be fit despite picking up a knock before the international break.

Wednesday have won 4 of their last 6 but were beaten at home by Brighton last time out and they have only won 1 away game to date this season.

Huddersfield have a perfect home record to date with 5 wins from 5 on home soil, form which sees them sit top of the Championship table.

The Owls beat the Terriers twice last season and have not lost in their last 5 visits to Huddersfield.
