--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheffield Wednesday return to Hillsborough on Saturday aiming to arrest a five-match winless streak in the Championship, having failed to build on an eye-catching opening-day 4-0 beating of Plymouth Argyle in their first full season under the management of Danny Rohl.
Indeed, in their last five attempts the Owls have added just one more point to their tally, as the perfect start was immediately followed by consecutive defeats at the hands of Sunderland, Leeds United and Millwall prior to the September international break.
A first draw then came in agonising fashion at home to Queens Park Rangers, having gone 1-0 up in injury time through Barry Bannan only for Alfie Lloyd to force a share of the spoils with a 96th-minute leveller.
Then on the back of a 1-0 victory away at Blackpool to progress to the EFL Cup fourth round, Rohl's men most recently visited Luton Town on Saturday, and, after again going ahead through Bannan, they left empty-handed as Carlton Morris converted a penalty 13 minutes from time and snatched all three points for the hosts with his second in the dying embers.
Having now dropped into the bottom three in England's second tier as a result of their tough run, Sheffield Wednesday will be desperate to record a second league win of the campaign on Saturday to kickstart a climb up the division.
They face another tricky test, though, as the visitors arrive in South Yorkshire on the back of a near-perfect start to their promotion bid this term.
Following their fifth-placed Championship finish and semi-final playoff defeat last season, West Bromwich Albion sit atop the table after six games in the 2024-25 term, having gone unbeaten thus far while amassing 16 points.
Their only dropped points came in a goalless stalemate with Leeds United in mid-August, and Carlos Corberan's side have bounced back in style since, firstly seeing off Stoke City and Swansea City prior to the international break.
The Baggies have since turned those results into a four-match winning streak in England's second tier, beating Portsmouth 3-0 on their travels before most recently hosting Plymouth Argyle on Saturday and adding another three points to their tally as Josh Maja netted the only goal of the game on the hour mark.
With momentum quickly growing at the Hawthorns, having netted 10 goals and only conceded two in their six outings thus far, West Bromwich Albion will bid to further strengthen their position at the front of the leading pack with a fifth straight victory on Saturday.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 0-2 West Bromwich
