Sheffield Wednesday secured a fantastic result against Leeds last Friday night thanks to Adam Reach’s stunning half-volley that dipped over Leeds keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, but they now have another tough tie against new league-leaders West Brom on Wednesday evening.
The Baggies, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, went to the top of the Championship with a 3-2 win away at Preston on Saturday, and Jos Luhukay will need to find a way of stopping the dangerous front three of Dwight Gayle, Jay Rodriguez and Harvey Barnes.

Against Leeds, the Dutch boss went with a back three, with Ash Baker and Matt Penney at wing-backs. However, after an hour Baker limped off with a slight injury and may not be at full-fitness for the clash with the Baggies, meaning 27-year-old Liam Palmer may be the best option to deal with the Baggies’ pacy attack.
