Sheffield Wednesday are in a patch of bad form as they struggle to achieve consistency this season under Carlos Carvalhal.
The aim is to build on the breakthrough season of last year where they finished in the top 6 before reaching and losing the play-off final to Hull.
Wednesday have lost their last 2 on the bounce including a home defeat to an out of sorts Ipswich.
Chairman Dejphon Chansiri has invested heavily in the Owls especially last summer, when he splashed the cash to bring in Fernando Forestieri and Gary Hooper, whose goals earned them a top 6 spot.
Barry Bannan proved a shrewd buy, proving essential in the middle of the park whilst Tom Lees was outstanding at centre back.
The investment was much lighter this summer with Steven Fletcher and winger Adam Reach the most notable incomings.
Recent bad form leaves them in 10th but just 2 points off the play-offs, and they come up against free-scoring Fulham on Saturday, and here's the XI they should field to win...
GK - Keiren Westwood
The first name on the team sheet should be Republic of Ireland international Keiren Westwood, who is widely seen as the best goalkeeper in the division.
He is a fixture in the side and essential to their defensive success in the last couple of seasons, and for now apprentice Joe Wildsmith should just learn off him.
LB - Daniel Pudil
The left- back has been impressive ever since his move last summer on loan from Watford, and he made that position his own earning a permanent deal this summer.
He has once again become a regular becoming a crucial attacking outlet down the left flank, and has improved vastly defensively.
He is versatile and can play further forward as well.
RB - Jack Hunt
Wednesday have some solid options at right back this season with Hunt being given good competition by Lewis Palmer.
But I see Hunt just holding down that position as that is what Carvalhal has gone for recently, and his better defensive work is what's needed to deal with free flowing Fulham.
He has played with an abundance of clubs and has plenty of experience at the top 3 levels.
CB - Sam Hutchinson
Hutchinson has been a regular at the back for Wednesday this season and has proved a revelation alongside partner Tom Lees.
One of the best partnerships in the league without a doubt and one of the most improved players under Carvalhal.
CB - Tom Lees
Lees is one of the best young centre backs in the division, forming an excellent partnership with the more experienced Glenn Loovens last season and doing the same with Sam Hutchinson this season.
CM - Kieran Lee
One of the most underrated players in the division must be Kieran Lee, who should be the first name on the team sheet every week.
He has started nearly every game this season - scoring crucial goals and is a real workhorse for the team.
CM - David Jones
The 32- year-old midfielder is a reliable outlet in midfield for Wednesday.
Despite numerous other options, the passing and vision of Jones is exceptional whilst his defensive work-rate has been superb.
LM - Fernando Forestieri
Whilst he has struggled for form this season, it is inexcusable to start one of the division's best players on the bench.
Whilst Fletcher and Hooper should start up front, Forestieri has the pace to work on the wings and assist them.
One of the best players Wednesday have..
RM - Barry Bannan
Whilst Carvalhal has shifted him around in the formational change this season, Bannan remains an integral part of the side down the right hand side instead of in the centre, as David Jones is better adapted.
After being signed on a free last summer he was fantastic in midfield scoring some wonder goals, and providing killer passes for assists.
ST - Gary Hooper
Hooper was another player who proved a revelation under Carvalhal last season, after finding his opportunities at Premier League Norwich limited.
Hooper joined and scored an impressive 13 goals in 29 games and the 28-year-old is a key player for the side.
ST - Steven Fletcher
Maybe the most important player for Wednesday this season is Scottish striker Steven Fletcher.
The 29- year-old has been flopping for years at Premier League Sunderland but did have a good record in this division with Wolves, and his partnership with Hooper is still vital.
He has only managed 3 goals so far but a man of his experience will surely bag more.
