Sheffield Wednesday team news: No Keiren Westwood as Garry Monk names an unchanged side for Stoke City showdown
Cameron Dawson continues in goal as first-choice shot-stopper Keiren Westwood has failed to shake off an ankle injury suffered in the warm-up before the draw with Cardiff City on Friday.
Monk has resisted the temptation to hand a start to forward Fernando Forestieri, who is a substitute for the second match running. Sam Winnall has also been named on the bench, but Newcastle United loanee Jacob Murphy and £8m club-record signing Jordan Rhodes miss out on the matchday squad altogether.
