Purse: Wednesday can cash in

The Owls have lost just one of their five opening league matches and sit eighth in the table, one place below the Blades, with the two sides set to clash a week on Friday at Bramall Lane. Purse told the club's official website: "We've had two very good wins going into a very important week with three games very close to each other. "There's plenty of confidence around the squad and that's what we want with this important week coming up." He added: "We've only had two league games at Hillsborough since I've come to the club and if we can recreate the form we had here against Scunthorpe over the next two games, it could be two big wins for us leading into what is an even bigger game for the fans against Sheffield United." The Owls became the first Sheffield side in 95 years last season to record a league derby double, following up a 1-0 win at Hillsborough in October with a 2-1 success at Bramall Lane in February.
