Match Preview: Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke City

The Potters are back in action when they travel to Hillsborough to face a relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday.


This is without a doubt The Potters' biggest game of the season with a loss on Saturday potentially seeing The Potters slip further into a relegation battle.


Here’s everything you need to know about The Potters upcoming game against The Owls.


Manager Insight


Not letting heads drop is a key focus after The Potters’ midweek loss against Swansea City.


Steven Schumacher when commenting on how The Potters have responded to the loss is that they “have been fine and recovered well and will be ready to go again.”


Schumacher also went on further to add that he knows how big the game is for the fans. “With 4000 fans going there, our players have to step up, compete and produce a performance that’s worthy of that support.”


Positivity and belief are the main focus this Saturday with Schumacher stating that “if we can play as well as we have been we can get a result”.


PREDICTED XI: (GK) Iversen, Hoever, Rose, McNally, Stevens, Laurent, Baker, Burger, Junho, Ennis, Manhoef


Harrison’s Prediction


I expect this game to be a scrappy one with Wednesday resorting to a physical style to frustrate The Potters.


Set pieces will likely play a big role in the game because I expect them to be Wednesday's main form of attack.


However, despite the excellent result in the midweek for Wednesday, I believe that The Potters will have enough quality to see them through.
