Sheffield Wednesday are looking for their third straight win, against West Bromwich Albion.
This managerless thing is working out well for Sheffield Wednesday.
The Owls have picked up back-to-back 1-0 wins since Jos Luhukay left his job by mutual consent.
But after Preston and Middlesbrough comes an even tougher test for Lee Bullen’s side, in the shape of West Bromwich Albion.
The Baggies have scored at least six goals more than any other Championship side this season (52) and could climb into the automatic promotion places with a win against Wednesday.
With Birmingham City to follow on Tuesday – the Owls’ fourth game in 11 days – Bullen is likely to mix things up at the Hawthorns. But he could find his options depleted, should Lucas Joao and Josh Onomah fail to recover from knocks picked up at Boro.
Outfield players Liam Palmer, Tom Lees, Michael Hector, Morgan Fox, Adam Reach, Marco Matias and Steven Fletcher have started both of Sheffield Wednesday’s festive fixtures so far, and several of those could be rested, alongside the recently restored Sam Hutchinson.
Ashley Baker, Daniel Pudil, Jordan Thorniley, Matt Penney, Joey Pelupessy, David Jones, George Boyd and Atdhe Nuhiu are in contention to return to the Owls’ starting line-up.
