Sheffield Wednesday's Lincoln City updates as Owls name attacking XI v Imps
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls can’t move up to second place this afternoon because of Ipswich Town’s victory over Derby County on Friday night, but they do need all three points if they’re going to keep up the pace on the top two.
Wednesday succumbed to a 3-1 defeat in this fixture last time around, and it will be another show of intent from them if they can reverse that result this afternoon.

Hide AdDarren Moore has made just the one change from the victory over Cambridge United as Mark McGuinness comes in for Tyreeq Bakinson – it looks as though they’re shifting to a back three again, giving space for the wingbacks to bomb on. With Josh Windass, Lee Gregory and Michael Smith they’ve got an attack that most teams in this division would be jealous of.

Five minutes added
Both sets of fans cheer... Feels like both teams still think they could get a winner here.
Another sub
Wilks replaces Windass in one final roll of the dice for Wednesday. Just a couple of minutes of normal time remain.
Byers booked just now for a foul in the Owls half.
Not looking good
Two members of Wednesday’s staff carry Heneghan off, and he goes straight down the tunnel.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru comes on. Owls switch to a back four.
Heneghan down
The defender was tracking back to try and stop a ball over the top, but was clipped by the Lincoln defender as he went round him and won a foul. He’s now getting a bit of treatment.
Much more open now
Feels a lot more end to end now... Both teams trying to have a go and get the winning goal. Just under half an hour left to go, and it really could go either way.
Good foot from Heneghan just now to stop a Lincoln attack.
