In the opener, Sheffield Wednesday lost 3-1 away to League Two outfit Bradford City. It was a surprising result when taking into account that Sheffield are playing at a division higher than Bradford. However, the hosts now have a chance to make up for it when they face a struggling Burton side. Sitting at the foot of the League One standings, Burton have just four points from nine matches. They have already lost seven times in the league. However, they will be heading into this clash on a positive note after winning their first league game away to Exeter City at the weekend.

There are not many injury concerns both sides need to worry about ahead of this fixture. Burton, however, will miss a couple of players due to injury and suspension. It is unclear when Mustapha Carayol will return from injury but it looks unlikely he will be involved on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Quevin Castro will also miss the match following his recent red card. For Burton, the immediate priority is to improve their League One position, hence they might not play with a strong team on Tuesday. The same will likely be the case with Sheffield Wednesday. As they continue to push to stay in the playoffs spot, their manager will keep one eye on the weekend fixture before naming a squad for the upcoming match.
Sheffield Wednesday possible line-up: Dawson, Iorfa, Agbontohoma, Palmer, J. Hunt, Bannan, Vaulks, Mighten, Brown, Gregory, Smith
Burton Albion possible line-up: Garratt, Hamer, Hughes, Brayford, Borthwick-Jackson, Gilligan, Taylor, Oshilaja, Powell, Adeboyejo, Ahadme
