Team news: James Vaughan has suffered a setback and is rated as being “weeks” away from a possible return but Joe Lolley could soon return along with Oscar Gobern. Radoslaw Majewski is available.

Sheffield Wednesday v Watford

Team news: Wednesday are without the suspended Chris Maguire, right, after he picked up five bookings, while Kamil Zayatte and Caolan Lavery are long-term injured. This could mean a start for Roysten Drenthe or Hallam Hope, who are both on loan. The good news for Stuart Gray is key midfield duo Sam Hutchinson and Kieran Lee could both play after being sidelined with injury since the middle of August. Lee made his first appearance since a fortnight ago at Leeds Uinted in the 1-1 draw.

Jose Baxter is available, though Nigel Clough may not give him a full 90 minutes.
