TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Sheffield Wednesday have benefited from the extended break with the return to fitness of several key players. Although Key defender Reda Johnson will sit the game out after failing to recover from a foot injury. Centre-back Martin Taylor is available as is Lewis Buxton who has regained full fitness. Having Buxton back allows the back four to return to their usual positions , as Wednesday are still trying to sort out their defensive woes. Wednesday are still waiting to hear if Everton will allow key central midfielder Ross Barkley to prolong his loan spell. Coach Dave Jones has big choices to make before they host Leeds. Jones has to decide whether start Gary Madine or Rodri upfront. Jones has to decide on the team shape. He has favoured 4-1-4-1 in recent matches but his preferred system is 4-4-2. Wednesday are on a terrible run of 8 games without a win and 7 losses in that time.
Leeds too have had an easing of their large injury list but will be sweating on the availability of Jamaican international Rodolph Austin. He was involved in a World Cup qualifier in Kingston Wednesday morning and may not be recovered in time to play here. Two players back are Paul Green and David Norris which is a boost to Leeds thin squad. Leeds are on a great run of form and Neil Warnock has worked wonders with such a dearth of players. Leeds are on a run of 5 games without defeat and have managed 4 wins in that time. Including a much deserved win over Premier league highflyers Everton. Key man is the much maligned El Hadji-Diouf who has been on top form at Elland Road.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY - LEEDS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

3.21 Leeds (Pinnacle)is the selection in this game. Sheffield Wednesday go into the game with severe problems all over the park. They have key players back in defence but they were conceding heavily early season too so they have serious problems keeping a clean sheet. Wednesday will have the edge on possession but Leeds direct style and quality delivery will win the day here. Leeds are playing with full confidence and their full blooded, bullying style will cause Wednesday's flimsy backline to wilt. For me the odds on Leeds are massive and a line nearer 2.50 Leeds was nearer the mark.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY - LEEDS :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Leeds is the pick here 0 at 2.35(Pinnacle) As in usually the case in the ultra competitive Championship we find value on the draw no bet markets. With teams so evenly matched here Leeds are given at a high price which affects the handicap markets. 2.35 Leeds with cash back for a draw is huge. Wednesday are shambolic at the back at the best of times and with local rivals Leeds really good offensively there could be problems. Warnock is a self confessed hater of Wednesday and will have his team wound right up for this. Expect some pantomime antics on the sidelines as the lifelong Blades fan trys to wind up the Hillsborough faithfull.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY - LEEDS:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.75 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. Both sides are big overs teams and Wednesday in particular are really heavy conceders. Both sides though have decent attacks and expect a humdinger of a local derby as both sides give their all. Of the last ten games for both sides 6 games have gone over. Friday night games such as theses are usually exciting affairs and this game looks to have all the ingrediants for goals galore.
