Sheffield Wednesday will look to end a dismal run of form in the Steel City derby tomorrow as they face Sheffield United.

It's a massive task for Jos Luhukay's men, who head across the city having lost four matches in a row.

The latest defeat was particularly alarming, with Norwich City winning 4-0 at Hillsborough in what was an embarrassing afternoon for the Owls.

Therefore, everyone connected with the club will be demanding a reaction, although they will also be slightly nervous given how well the Blades are doing.

Chris Wilder's men are strong favourites for the clash as Wednesday look to become just the second team to pick up maximum points at Bramall Lane.

The role of underdog might actually suit Wednesday and here we predict the XI the former Gladbach boss will go with...

Luhukay launched a strong defence of Dawson at his press conference today, so he is sure to stick with the 23-year-old who has been the number one all season, but is yet to keep a clean sheet.

The on-loan Chelsea man should return to the side having missed the defeat to the Canaries.

The captain has been a big disappointment this season, but Luhukay will go with an experienced side in such a hostile atmosphere.

Following on from that, the former Watford man should be the left-sided option to bring balance to the back three.

Palmer will provide energy and pace down the right flank, where he will be expected to get forward.

The Dutch midfielder will have to be very competitive in the middle of the park if the Owls are to win the midfield battle.

Wednesday will need a huge performance from Bannan, who is their best player and has the quality to cause the hosts problems.

The youngster will play in a left wing-back role, which suits his game.

Reach has had some spectacular moments in the Championship this season and the Owls will be hoping he can deliver again tomorrow night.

The Portuguese forward is infuriating at times, but he does have quality and Luhukay needs him to turn up tomorrow.

Fletcher should lead the line and will have to work hard to occupy the Blades defence.
