Head-to-Head
- Leicester have won the last two Championship head-to-heads, most recently at home to Wednesday, 2-1, seven months ago.
- Leicester are unbeaten in their last two Championship away games, although both were draws.
Sheffield Wednesday (Home)
- Sheffield Wednesday find themselves bottom of the Championship table with -6 points after 39 games.
- Henrik Pedersen’s side are locked into a pragmatic, defence-first approach since he took charge at Hillsborough in July 2025.
- The Owls have only managed four goals in their last five matches, three of which came from Jerry Yates.
Leicester City (Away)
- Leicester City’s style of play is almost the polar opposite of their hosts on Monday, with Gary Rowett’s side favouring a more proactive approach since he joined in February 2026.
- They like to get the ball down and play through the thirds, where their high full-backs can create overloads and the team can transition quickly into attack.
- Jordan James is Leicester’s top scorer in the Championship, having scored 10 goals in 29 appearances, and his ability to create and finish chances will be crucial.
Key Players
- Jerry Yates
- Has been Wednesday’s man in form of late, scoring three of their goals in the last five games.
- Jordan James
- Leicester’s top scorer with 10 goals in 29 appearances.
