Plymouth Argyle had a successful season in League One under the leadership of Steven Schumacher, winning the title and achieving over 100 points. However, their return to the second tier of English football has been challenging, as they currently find themselves in 21st place with 12 points after 12 games. Although they have managed to secure three wins so far, including a noteworthy 6-2 victory over Norwich City, their point total has only increased by two in their last four matches. Despite taking an early lead against Swansea City in their most recent game, they suffered a 3-1 defeat. In their next match, Plymouth Argyle faced West Bromwich Albion and were unable to secure a win, but they did manage to come away with a goalless draw. Despite their recent struggles, they still have a four-point lead over the relegation zone and will be eager to improve their position and secure a victory on their home turf.

The injury list for Plymouth Argyle has recently become shorter, although defenders Brendan Galloway and Saxon Earley, as well as midfielder Callum Wright, are still unavailable for Wednesday's game. However, goalkeeper Michael Cooper has returned after missing several matches due to injury and will start again after recovering from a ligament rupture. He will be supported by Lewis Gibson and Dan Scarr in the defense. Finn Azaz, Jordan Houghton, and Adam Randell will play further up the field, with Bali Mumba and Morgan Whittaker on the wings and Ryan Hardie as the lone striker.

Plymouth Argyle Predicted Lineup

Cooper; Kesler-Hayden, Gibson, Scarr, Miller; Randell, Houghton, Azaz; Whittaker, Hardie, Mumba

Sheffield Wednesday form

Their upcoming opponent, Sheffield Wednesday, has also had a difficult start to the season after earning promotion from the third tier. They are still searching for their first win in the Championship and currently sit at the bottom of the table with only two points from ten games.

Under new manager Danny Rohl, they were unable to secure a victory in their recent match against Watford, extending their winless streak to 12 games. They have also struggled to score goals, only managing to find the back of the net once in their last eight matches.

Sheffield Wednesday will be desperate to end their winless run and close the nine-point gap between them and safety. The upcoming match against Plymouth Argyle presents an opportunity for both teams to turn their fortunes around and secure much-needed points.

Sheffield Wednesday, under the management of Danny Rohl, played with a 4-3-3 formation in their last game and are likely to have a similar setup for Wednesday's match. Captain Barry Bannan, who recently returned from injury, will feature in the midfield alongside George Byers or Will Vaulks. Devis Vasquez, who was benched in the previous game, may also be included in the starting lineup, and Cameron Dawson will once again be the goalkeeper. Bambo Diaby and Dominic Iorfa will continue their partnership in the center of defense.

Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Lineup

Dawson; Valentin, Iorfa, Diaby, Famewo; Byers, Bannan, Buckley; Musaba, Gregory, Windass
