Sheffield Wednesday will take on Leeds United in an EFL Championship clash on their home turf on Friday, August 23.

Sheffield Wednesday, under young German manager Danny Rohl’s guidance, began with their season with 4-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle but lost to Sunderland by the same margin in the next game. After two rounds, Sheffield are placed ninth while Leeds are 15th.

Poor form towards the end of the season kept Leeds from earning promotion into the Premier League. They come into the match on the back of a goalless draw against West Brom.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Other than goalkeeper Ben Hamer, there are no injury concerns for Sheffield. But the team may be in for a major reshuffle after the 0-4 defeat against Sunderland.

Manager Rohl may draft in Ike Ugbo, giving the striker his first start since his loan switch from Troyes this summer.

Sheffield predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Beadle (GK) — Valery, Iorfa, Bernard, Lowe — Ingelsson, Palmer — Gassama, Bannan, Musaba — Ugbo.

With Crysencio Summerville, Glen Kamara and Archie Gray leaving Leeds during the summer transfer window, the team is still looking for their replacements.

Willy Gnonto, Daniel James and new arrival Brenden Aaronson are likely to play behind lone striker Patrick Bamford.

Leeds predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Meslier (GK) — Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Firpo — Ampadu, Gruev — James, Aaronson, Gnonto — Bamford
