Team Analysis
Sheffield Wednesday: The "Owls" have made some strategic signings, including Ike Ugbo and McNeil, who could provide the attacking flair they need. Their recent victory over Plymouth and Hull City in the cup demonstrates their ability to compete, even though they suffered a setback with a 0-4 defeat to Sunderland.

Losing key players like Summerville and Sinisterra has affected their squad depth, and the new arrivals are yet to make a significant impact. Their lackluster performance in the League Cup and their inability to score against West Bromwich is a cause for concern.
