After comprehensive midweek wins in the Carling Cup Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday go head to head at London Road on Saturday with both in search of their first league win after disappointing late setbacks last weekend.
The Owls will again be without the services of strikers Akpo Sodje and Leon Clarke but those two aside Brian Laws has a strong squad to select from.
With Francis Jeffers struggling to find form Laws must decide between him and Jermaine Johnson to partner Marcus Tudgay up front. Winger Johnson has bagged 3 goals already this season and if he is chosen it attack then Etienne Esajas could come in on the flank.
Midfielder Tommy Miller will be vying for a midfield berth along with Darren Potter and James O’Connor after an impressive debut in midweek.
Laws must also choose whether to stick with Frank Simek and Mark Beevers in the back four. The two came in a kept a clean sheet in midweek after Richard Wood and Lewis Buxton were rested having conceded sloppy second half goals against Barnsley in the opening game.
Peterborough were unlucky to lose to Derby in their opening game but bounced back with an impressive 4-0 win at Wycombe in the cup.
Defender Craig Morgan missed out in week due to international duty with Wales but may make a return to the side.
Boss Darren Ferguson has to choose between three talented strikers up front with George Boyd, Aaron Mclean and Craig Mackail-Smith all in contention.
Following promotion from League One last season this is to be Peterborough’s 1st game in the second tier for 15 years and with the Owls expected to be backed by an away following of over 4,000 there should be a good atmosphere at one of the few grounds still to have standing terraces
The two sides have only met 4 times in the past twenty years and Wednesday have been undefeated in these games with 3 wins and a draw. The last time the two teams met at London Road the match ended in a draw with Lee Bullen on the score sheet for the Owls.
