Sheffield Wednesday host Brentford at Hillsborough tonight knowing that a win will take them into 4th place in the Championship.
The Owls have won 4 in a row and will be eager to maintain their form ahead of a top 6 clash with Leeds United at the weekend.
Carlos Carvalhal is unlikely to risk centre-back Tom Lees, left-back Morgan Fox and striker Gary Hooper as none are yet match fit following injury lay-offs. Almen Abdi could keep his place in midfield after scoring a fine goal at the weekend and Wednesday have plenty of options in attack if the manager chooses to freshen things up with the games coming thick and fast.
Brentford continue to be without one-time Owls target Alan Judge as he continues to recover from a broken leg but he has returned to light training.
German forward Philipp Hoffmann is unlikely to feature due to a back injury but Rico Henry has recently had a run out following a shoulder injury and could play at Hillsborough.
Wednesday have not been playing to the best of their abilities but have crucially ground out results, winning 4 in a row. They have won 11 of 15 at home to date this season.
Brentford didn't play this weekend and were narrowly beaten 3-2 at promotion chasing Reading last Tuesday. Their recent matches have been goal-fests having lost 4-2 at Preston, drawn 3-3 with Brighton and won 3-0 against Aston Villa.
The Owls played well at Griffin Park back in August but needed an injury time equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw. Wednesday beat the Bees home and away last season.
