Brentford 1 Sheffield Wednesday 2: Llera nets Owls winner
Reda Johnson is still out, though could return for the final day visit of Wycombe Wanderers to Hillsborough. Julian Bennett also remains on the sidelines so Mark Beevers, despite having been troubled by a niggling injury, will continue at left-back. Antonio has also trained after suffering an injured shoulder at the end of last weekend’s win over Carlisle so is likely to start.
The only change came as Keith Treacy started his first game for the Owls, with Jermaine Johnson dropping out.
The Blades kick-off later at tea-time in a televised match.

Brentford had enjoyed the better of the chances, Jonathan Douglas hitting the bar from three yards out, while Karleigh Osborne also had a fresh air shot from same distance.
Brentford were level on the hour mark when Clayton Donaldson converted a penalty after a foul from Mark Beevers.
But the Owls roared back into the lead, a corner from Treacy nodded in by centre-half Miguel Llera.
