Owls to stay the same

Sheffield Wednesday manager Alan Irvine is expected to name an unchanged side for the clash at Coventry. Irvine has no new injury or suspension problems as his side look to clinch back-to-back victories for the first time since January. Luke Varney, on loan from Derby, was the only change Irvine made for the midweek win over relegation rivals Watford and the striker justified his return with an 89th-minute winner. Varney is likely to continue up front with Marcus Tudgay, while skipper Darren Purse is expected to start alongside Mark Beevers after recovering from a hamstring strain sustained in the recent draw with Derby in time to start in midweek. Jermaine Johnson is still struggling with a hamstring injury but Michael Gray, Frank Simek, Etienne Esajas and Richard Hinds are all pushing for returns to the starting line-up.
