Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping to get their season off to a winning start against Walsall in the first round of the EFL Cup. 

Garry Monk's side finished 16th in the Championship last season, in what was a frustrating league campaign for the club's supporters to endure.

Sheffield Wednesday will start this year's league campaign on minus 12 points after off-the-field troubles, and they'll be eager to put together a positive run of form, starting against Walsall on Saturday.

They take on a Walsall side that will be preparing for a season in League Two this term, but they certainly shouldn't be underestimated.

Monk has named his starting XI ahead of the game, as they look to progress to the next round of the competition this weekend.

There isn't a recognised striker in the starting XI for the Owls, although you would imagine that either Izzy Brown or Adam Reach will play furthest forward.

Plenty of Sheffield Wednesday supporters took to social media to issue their thoughts on Monk's latest team selection ahead of the match.
