Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch

Promotion-chasing Leeds United make the trip to Hillsborough to take on relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday in the Friday night action in the Championship.

The hosts' form has improved drastically in recent weeks, as they have won four straight league games to move within two points of 16th-placed Plymouth Argyle. They faced the Pilgrims at home in the midweek clash on Tuesday, recording a 1-0 victory courtesy of Djeidi Gassama's 60th-minute strike.

The Whites, meanwhile, were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town over the weekend and returned to winning ways on Tuesday night, with a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Stoke City. They remain in third place in the league table after that win, trailing league leaders Leicester City by five points and two behind second-placed Ipswich Town.

Team news & squads

Sheffield Wednesday team news

Given their strong winning run, Danny Rohl should have no reason to make many changes to his Sheffield Wednesday starting XI on Friday night, with Josh Windass and Callum Paterson still out through respective injuries, while winger Ian Poveda will be unable to face his parent club.

Sheffield Wednesday possible XI: Beadle; Valentin, Iorfa, Ihiekwe, Bernard, Johnson; Musaba, Vaulks, Bannan, Gassama; Ugbo

Leeds United team news

Leeds United remain without the services of Pascal Struijk and Stuart Dallas for their trip to Hillsborough on Friday, and Daniel Farke should field an unchanged starting XI from their narrow victory over Stoke City on Tuesday night.

Patrick Bamford will once again likely lead the line over Joel Piroe in the 4-2-3-1 shape, with Georginio Rutter set to keep his place in the middle of a supporting trio, and Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto, and Daniel James vying for a starting spot on the flanks.

Leeds United possible XI: Meslier; Roberts, Ampadu, Rodon, Byram; Gruev, Kamara; James, Rutter, Summerville; Bamford
