Match Preview
Duo set for Steel City debuts Sheffield United should include new loan signings Billy Clarke and Matt Phillips in their squad for Sunday's clash with Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane. The Blackpool pair signed one-month loan deals in time to debut in the Steel City derby. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, on loan from Wolves, has returned to his parent club for treatment after sustaining a hamstring injury in the recent Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over Rotherham. But another loanee, Reading defender Marcus Williams, is back in contention after missing the last two games due to a dead-leg. Skipper Nick Montgomery is in line to make his first league start since August. The midfielder played the full 90 minutes last week against Rotherham after missing the previous six matches due to an ankle injury. Manager Danny Wilson has no other new injury or suspension problems for the 126th Steel City derby. Sheffield Wednesday pair David Prutton and Ryan Lowe could return to contention. Midfielder Prutton has missed the last three games due to a thigh strain, while fellow summer signing Lowe has yet to start a game for the Owls due to an ankle problem that has restricted him to two substitute appearances. Defender Reda Johnson will be available following his return from international duty with Benin and midfielder Liam Palmer is back in contention after two appearances for Scotland Under-21s. Winger Jermaine Johnson is hoping to make his first start following suspension, while manager Gary Megson has no new injury concerns. Wednesday, who have won their last four league games and five of their last six, drew 1-1 with the Blades in their last meeting in April 2010 when both sides were in the Championship.

Match Report
Owls hit back in Steel City derby Sheffield Wednesday came back from 2-0 down against Sheffield United to draw 2-2 in the 126th Steel City derby at Bramall Lane. First-half goals from Stephen Quinn and Ched Evans put the hosts in the driving seat, but late goals from Chris O'Grady and Gary Madine saw the match finish all-square. Quinn opened the scoring in the 11th minute, seizing on a rebound to fire home after Evans' low shot had been deflected on to a post. O'Grady wasted a gilt-edged chance to equalise, hitting the post from close-range after Blades goalkeeper Steve Simonsen spilled the ball. The miss proved costly as Evans put United 2-0 up just a minute later, beating Owls goalkeeper Stephen Bywater with a near-post header from Williamson's cross. As Wednesday pressed, James O'Connor steered a free header off-target and Ben Marshall twice threatened, but in a pulsating finish O'Grady (83) pulled a goal back for the Owls with a far post header and then Madine (86) headed the equaliser after beating Simonsen to a high ball played into the area.
