Sheffield Wednesday continue their cup campaign with an EFL Trophy group stage fixture away to Salford City on Tuesday. The match at Moor Lane kicks off at 14:00 and represents a chance for the Owls to build on their strong league form.
Sheffield Wednesday sit second in League One with 14 points from seven games, just one point behind leaders Bradford. They are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, a run that includes three wins and two draws. Their most recent outing was a 0-0 draw at home to Stockport County last Saturday, which followed another goalless draw against Wigan. Forward J. Lowe, who has four goals this season, will be a key figure in the attack.
Salford City have had mixed results recently, with a heavy 7-2 defeat to Rotherham United among their last five games. They did, however, secure a 1-0 win over Port Vale in their most recent home match. Both teams fielded strong lineups in their last league games, with Sheffield Wednesday using a 4-2-3-1 shape and Salford City deploying a 5-3-2 formation.
Looking ahead, Sheffield Wednesday's next fixture after this cup tie is an away trip to face Stevenage in the league on Saturday. The club will be aiming to maintain their strong start to the season, having secured 14 points from their opening seven matches.
