Crisis, what crisis? Leeds boss Daniel Farke had given his full backing to goalkeeper Illan Meslier after he came under criticism for his mistakes in the 3-3 draw at Hull City in the Championship a fortnight ago.

In better news, top scorer Joel Piroe is back after missing last weekend's 1-0 FA Cup thrid round win over Harrogate Town with muscle complaints. He is expected to start the match, as is Illan Meslier, despite his blunder against Hull City last time out.

Sheff Weds: Beadle (GK), Lowe, Bernard, Ingelsson (Johnson 54’), Bannan (C), Windass (Ugbo 79’), Ihiekwe (Valentin 71’), Valery, Gassama, Charles, Musaba (Paterson 79’). Subs not used: Charles (GK), Palmer, J. Lowe, Kobacki, Otegbayo.

Despite the result Sheffield Wednesday fans were probably pleased to have some actual football to focus on after a week where comments from chairman Dejphon Chansiri put an unwanted spotlight on the club and the future of boss Danny Rohl.
