Wowee..
Life in the other game in the group proving tough for Leicester’s kids then..
They’re 4-0 down after 20 minutes at Burton Albion.
That Owls XI - Joe Crann
It’s an interesting one with 10 changes from the side that started against Forest Green Rovers, but despite all the changes it still looks like it’s 5-3-2 from the Owls.
Brown and Jack Hunt start as wingbacks with James back into the three central defenders following his suspension alongside Iorfa and Agbontohoma.
In midfield young Alex Hunt gets his first start of the season alongside Vaulks, with Paterson playing a bit of a boisterous number 10 role. Smith finally starts for the first time up front, alongside debutant, Mighten.
Plenty of youth on the bench with Davidson, Glover, Galvin and Cook - and you’d think that McGuinness will replace Iorfa at the half time if all is going well.
