Sheffield Wednesday vs QPR Lineups
Sheffield Wednesday
The poor run of form from the Owls has also been coupled with a few injuries. Josh Windass has barely played this season due to an ongoing muscle injury and he won't play again in 2023. Dominic Iorfa and Mallik Wilks make up more concerns in the physio room.
Predicted Lineup: Dawson (GK), Famewo, Ihiekwe, Diaby, Palmer, Bannan, Vaulks, Byers, Musaba, Cadamarteri, Paterson
QPR
Jack Colback could return to action here after a bout on the sidelines, but Morgan Fox and Jake Clarke-Salter are both out injured still.
Predicted Lineup: Begovic (GK), Kakay, Cook, Dunne, Paal, Dozzell, Field, Kelman, Chair, Willock, Dykes

Player to Watch: Lyndon Dykes
Although it’s hard to single out one player after such poor starts to the season, we have looked at Scotland international, Lyndon Dykes, for this game.
The striker is the joint top scorer across these two teams with three goals so far, and if QPR are to get anything out of this game, he likely has a say. Dykes has also had 34 shots this season and continues to be somewhat of a threat.
