Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Röhl has made five changes to the side that tasted heavy defeat at Huddersfield Town for line-up set to take on Birmingham City this evening.

Leeds United loanee Ian Poveda will make his first start for the club having made his debut in West Yorkshire, with Akin Famewo, Marvin Johnson, Momo Diaby and Bailey Cadamarteri stepping back into the team in place of Michael Ihiekwe, Kristian Pedersen, Liam Palmer, Anthony Musaba and Michael Smith.

It reads as an attacking side once again named by the Owls as they look to register what would be an important win - one that would reduce the arrears on the safety places to five points heading into the weekend. Birmingham have made two changes having enjoyed a steadying upturn in fortunes since the arrival of Tony Mowbray as manager.
