Carlos Carvalhal's Sheffield Wednesday travel to Pride Park to face off against Derby County in the Championship tomorrow.
The Owls will still be reeling after their shock 2-1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers last time out, and they'll be keen to get back to winning ways against the Rams.
Carvalhal has tended to stick with the same strike partnership all season, with Gary Hooper partnering Steven Fletcher.
With Jordan Rhodes picking up an ankle injury against Bolton, the Owls can now only call upon Lucas Joao if Fletcher or Hooper get injured.
However, is there a case for Carvalhal to hand Joao a shock start against Derby?
The 24-year-old has looked impressive when coming off the bench, and Saturday could be the perfect time for him to get a start.
The writers here at FLW issue their verdicts.....

No way, Carvalhal should keep faith with Steven Fletcher and Gary Hooper.
Fletcher needs to do more in terms of goals, but the pair have struck up a decent partnership over the past month and deserve more time.
Joao hasn't really had a fair chance since performing very well as a sub in the Steel City derby, so you can feel sorry for him. However, with Jordan Rhodes injured he has moved up the queue and he needs to take his chance as a sub first.

Probably not a starter, but can certainly play a role from the bench.
Carvalhal is likely to put his faith in Steven Fletcher and Gary Hooper once again against Derby this weekend, but Jordan Rhodes’ injury opens the door for Joao as an alternative.
Joao has looked like a threat in recent weeks, and if he continues to impress from the bench, he could be pushing for a starting berth in the near future.

What do Wednesday have to lose? Give him a chance!
Jordan Rhodes is out of form and Steven Fletcher is looking like he's off the boil too so I think it's time Joao gets a chance alongside Gary Hooper.
The hope for Carlos Carvalhal will be that Joao takes this chance to prove himself worthy of a more regular starting spot and we'll just have to wait and see if he can do that.
