Midfielder returns and striker decision: predicted Sheffield...

What will Danny Röhl’s starting lineup be against Coventry City this time? Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City

are no strangers these days.

The Owls and the Sky Blues will play one other for the seventh time since Boxing Day 2023; if you calculate the

average, they have essentially squared off every two months for the past year and a half.

They are aware of what to anticipate from each other’s players, but going into this match, Röhl has something fresh

to consider because Frank Lampard has managed an incredible turnaround in Coventry’s fortunes.

Shea Charles’ goal last time out gave Wednesday the victory, but will they be able to duplicate that performance at

home as they look to win Hillsborough for the first time since New Year’s Day?

Here is how we believe the Owls manager should lineup the team for a match that, if everything goes according to

plan, could propel them into the top six.

1. James Beadle – GK

He’s played every single minute of the Owls’ league campaign so far, and that won’t be changing anytime soon – hopefully.

There were question marks over whether the Owls would switch to a back three v Swansea, but a four remained – Valery did well again.

Was excellent in the last game, and would deserve to keep his place even if there were other centre backs to choose ahead of him.

Can’t fault him for practically anything in recent months, whether it be out wide or central he’s done everything asked of him.
