Sheffield Wednesday take on Rotherham United this week in the Sky Bet Championship in what is a Yorkshire derby.

The Owls have stuttered a little bit in their quest to get back to positive points with them stuck on -4 after two defeats in a row, whilst the Millers have one win to their name as well as three draws and three losses.

Ten points separate them in the table, then, and Garry Monk will know how important a result against them will be this week, so he'll be looking to his players to step up and make it count.

In terms of team news, defender Joost van Aken is suspended for three games after a red card at the weekend, with the Owls deciding against appealing the decision.

Garry Monk will need to tweak things defensively, then, and Dom Howson has revealed that the manager is hopeful Tom Lees and Dominic Iorfa will be fit to come in just in time and fill the gap.

Elsewhere, Howson reveals that Izzy Brown could also be in the squad for this game with Paul Warne's men, though there is less good news about Chey Dunkley and Massimo Luongo.

The former has suffered considerably with injury since making his move to Wednesday from relegated Wigan Athletic, whilst Luongo, Howson reports, may not be fit for contention until the Bournemouth game.

A few fitness issues to contend with right now for the Owls, then, and Garry Monk will just be hoping the side that he can put out has enough to beat the Millers.
