Have Sheffield Wednesday changed much since last season?
The basic game plan is unlikely to be too different.
They will probably line-up in a flat 4-4-2, but that becomes ultra-fluid when theygo forward. The likes of Barry Bannan and Ross Wallace will move out wide to protect the full-backs in defence but when they counter, will have free roam.
Crucially, that gives the jewel in their crown, Fernando Forestieri, the freedom to roam and pop up in dangerous positions. Midfielder Kieran Lee is in superb form this season and has the licence to make runs into the box.
Winger Adam Reach and target man Steven Fletcher are summer acquisitions who have strengthened their goal threat even further.
