Plymouth Argyle v Sheffield Wednesday - Updates as Owls sniff opportunity to go top of the league

..well this feels a bit exciting, doesn’t it?

Wednesday have made the long, long trip down to Devon and tonight take on table-topping Plymouth Argyle.

The two sides are among those expected to challenge at the very top of League One this season and Wednesday have started almost as well, sat third after 11 matches.

There’s little to split the two teams and this evening’s clash is lined up to be a belter. Stay tuned to the blog for all the latest updates.

Will he play? Lee Gregory was left out of the matchday squad altogether for the win at Port Vale with a niggle picked up in training - but could slide back into the reckoning in Devon.

Speaking earlier this week, Scarr spoke about the prospect of coming up against the former Stoke City man.

“I look forward to dealing with every striker that the Gaffer says: ‘you need to mark him’,” he said.

“When we played [Wednesday] at home last season, and we won 3-0, [Gregory’s] movement was good, he was strong holding it up. He’s a Championship player really. I thought he was one of the ones who made me feel the most uncomfortable. I still enjoyed playing against him, but some strikers you can second guess what they are going to do as the play is happening. With him, I had to stay on my toes and be alert, which is a good thing. It keeps you concentrating so you don’t get complacent.

“It’s mentally draining having to concentrate for that long. If you slip up or are not concentrating, it can cost you. You are playing against good teams and they can punish you quickly.”

Plymouth boss Steven Schumacher: “You have got to try and get pressure on him, you have got to try and stop him from receiving the ball, that will be a good start, and then when he does get it be prepared to mark your men because he has got good quality and he can pick people out.

“But he’s not the only good player that Sheffield Wednesday have got. They have got another 10 to try and stop as well.”

..but it’s highly technical and unexciting stuff. No stress.

This isn’t shock news.. they’ve done it again!

Looks like an extra man in midfield, then, as Tyreeq Bakinson jumps in in place of Mallik Wilks.

Josh Windass’ pace on the shoulder pushes alongside Michael Smith, and there’s no return t the line-up for Lee Gregory - though he does make the bench.
