Sheffield Wednesday faced a tough defeat against Watford but will aim to bounce back when they take on Norwich City. The Owls went into the Watford match on a positive streak, having lost only one in six games. Despite their hopes, Watford emerged victorious with a 6-2 scoreline, led by a four-goal performance from striker Vakoun Bayo. This defeat has raised concerns for manager Danny Rohl, especially given the defensive injuries that the team is facing.
Norwich City, on the other hand, has had a mixed run of form, with three consecutive draws followed by a last-gasp defeat to Cardiff City. However, under new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup, the team has shown positive signs and currently sits 10th in the table. In contrast, Sheffield Wednesday is in 18th place and will be looking to improve their standing with a strong performance against Norwich City.
Injury concerns for Sheffield Wednesday include defender Michael Ihiekwe and Akin Famewo, both sidelined with long-term injuries. Additionally, Olaf Kobacki is unavailable while Nathaniel Chalobah is on the road to recovery. Despite these setbacks, Rohl has a strong squad with versatile players who can step up and fill in the gaps caused by these absences.
The predicted lineup for Sheffield Wednesday includes changes in defense, with Yan Valery potentially joining the back three alongside Di’Shon Bernard and Dominic Iorfa. In midfield, Marvin Johnson and Anthony Musaba could feature, while Josh Windass and Michael Smith are expected to lead the attack. With a mix of experienced players and talented youth, Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to bounce back from their defeat and secure a positive result against Norwich City.
