Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-2
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to climb to automatic promotion berth when they take on Fleetwood at Highbury Stadium on Boxing Day. The Owls have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways in the English third tier. The good news for the visitors is that midfielder Barry Bannan should recover in time to face the Cod Army.
The hosts, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over MK Dons. Fleetwood are eager to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but seeing that Bannan is back for Sheffield Wednesday, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Daniel Batty should sneak into Fleetwood’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute against MK Dons.
Highlighted Player (Reece James):
Reece James is a talented Chelsea defender who plays for Wigan Athletic on loan. Born in Redbridge, England on December 8, 1999, James started his youth career at Chelsea football academy at the age of 6. The talented teenager played for England U18 and U19 teams and he currently represents the U20 team on the international stage.
Reece James scored 3 goals in 45 appearances for Wigan in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but that did not help the Latics avoid relegation to the League One. His numbers from the 2018/2019 season are impressive as he completed 91 successful tackles, 54 blocks, 44 successful dribbles and 93 clearances.
James, on the other hand, has yet to find the net for the England U20 national team. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as both centre-back and defensive midfielder as well. Reece James turned professional in March 2017.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield Wednesday):
Sheffield Wednesday are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Sheffield (South Yorkshire). The Owls compete in the English second tier (Championship) and they play their home matches at Hillsborough.
The venue was the scene of the Hillsborough disaster which occurred in 1989 when 96 Liverpool supporters were crushed to death in the FA Cup semi-final. It has to be noted that the World Cup (1966) and the Euro (1996) matches were played at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday have won four First Division trophies (1902/2903, 1903/1904, 1928/1929, 1929/2930) and they finished the 1960/1961 campaign in second place in the standings. The Owls have clinched three FA Cup trophies (1896, 1907, 1935), with the team winning the League Cup in 1991.
Sheffield Wednesday defeated English giants Manchester United (1-0) in the title game. Sheffield United are regarded as the Owls’ main rivals and the two teams face each other in the Steel City derby.
