Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been challenging, with three consecutive losses and two draws in their last five matches. This could impact their confidence going into the game against Preston.

• Predicted lineup: Horvath (GK), Palmer (DF), Cooper (DF), Lowe (DF), Fusire (MF), Valery (MF), Bannan (MF), Amass (MF), McNeill (MF), Ingelsson (MF), Cadamarteri (AT)

Sheffield Wednesday are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Horvath in goal and a back three of Palmer, Cooper, and Lowe. This setup should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while relying on the creativity of Bannan and Ingelsson in midfield to support the lone striker Cadamarteri.

• Predicted lineup: Iversen (GK), Storey (DF), Lindsay (DF), Hughes (DF), Offiah (MF), Þórðarson (MF), Thompson (MF), Lewis (MF), Devlin (MF), Dobbin (MF), Jebbison (AT)

Preston is likely to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Iversen between the posts and a defensive trio of Storey, Lindsay, and Hughes. This formation should provide them with both defensive stability and the flexibility to push forward, with Jebbison leading the attack and Dobbin and Devlin offering support from attacking midfield positions.

• Cadamarteri vs Lindsay: Cadamarteri's pace and movement will be tested against Lindsay's defensive solidity.

• Bannan vs Þórðarson: Bannan's quality in midfield will be crucial against Þórðarson's experience and control.

• Ingelsson (Sheffield Wednesday): Ingelsson's creativity and ability to unlock defences will be key for Sheffield Wednesday.

• Lewis (Preston): Lewis's versatility and attacking threat from midfield could prove decisive for Preston.
