The Championship gets back underway this weekend and Sheffield Wednesday kick off their campaign with a trip to Wigan Athletic.

Sheffield Wednesday travel to the DW Stadium to take on Paul Cook's Wigan side, who will be full of confidence after winning the League One title last season.

The Owls, on the other hand, will be hoping for a much improved season after a lower half finish, which could have been worse if not for a good run of form towards the end of the campaign.

Sheffield Wednesday have made no new signings this summer yet but the returns of Fernando Forestieri, Kieran Lee and Gary Hooper will feel like new additions.

Jos Luhukay will now be considering his options as he prepares to pick his first starting XI of the 2018/19 season.

Here are two players that Luhukay definitely needs to start against Wigan this weekend.

If this man is fit, then he has to be a starter for Sheffield Wednesday.

The 28-year-old scored five goals in 10 games last season and if he stays fit all season, he improves the Owls' options.

The big centre-forward divides opinion but the truth is that he is a handful for defenders and provides Sheffield Wednesday with an outlet up front.

The 29-year-old scored nine times in the final eight games of the season, including a hat-trick on the last day against Norwich City, and this surely earns him a start for the first game of this campaign.
