How to Watch Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth Argyle in the UK:

UK viewers can watch the match on Sky Sports Action with coverage set to begin at 7:40pm on Tuesday evening. Kick-off is set for 7:45.

Team News:

Wednesday are missing striker Josh Windass for the next few weeks as he recovers from a muscle injury. Centre-back Di'Shon Bernard is available after a one match suspension.

Plymouth boss Ian Foster has a fully fit squad to pick from.

Recent Form:

Second from bottom, Sheffield Wednesday can be encouraged by their crucial 1-0 win at South Yorkshire rivals Rotherham on Saturday, a result that takes them to within three points of safety. In fact, the Owls have won four of their last five Championship matches and are one of the divisions form teams.

Wednesday are the current lowest scorers in the Championship this season however with just 29 goals scored in their 35 league matches. They can take encouragement from the fact that Plymouth have

the third worst defensive record in the division having conceded 59 goals.

The Pilgrims currently sit 16th in the table, but just two points clear of the relegation zone after 35 games played. Plymouth were beaten 2-0 at home by promotion chasing Ipswich last weekend, however they won their last away match, a 2-0 win at Middlesbrough.

In Morgan Whittaker, Argyle have the Championship’s second leading goal scorer in their ranks and they will be hoping he can add to his tally of 17 goals at Hillsborough this week.

Plymouth had to wait till February for their first away win of the campaign, although their solitary two away successes have come under the reign of Foster. Having seen their impressive home form take a recent dip, away games may take on extra importance in the closing months of the season.

With just two points separating seven teams either side of the Championship relegation zone, three points here will be vital as Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth attempt to survive their first season back in the second tier.
