Sheffield Wednesday host bitter rivals Sheffield United at Hillsborough in the Steel City derby on Sunday, live on
Sky Sports 1 & HD1.
The high-flying Blades will be out for revenge after last term's corresponding fixture saw Wednesday run out 2-0 winners, before the clash at Bramall Lane ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
Brian Laws' Owls head into the contest off the back of their first Championship defeat in four outings, and will be eager to bounce back and climb up from mid-table.
United, meanwhile, lie fourth - prior to Saturday's round of matches - and are seeking their fourth successive league triumph.
Buxton
Lewis Buxton could be set to make his Sheffield Wednesday debut against rivals United.
The defender has joined on a one-month loan deal from Stoke and could be thrown straight in if club captain Richard Wood fails to recover from a groin injury.
Striker Akpo Sodje, who has been sidelined since damaging a tendon behind his knee on the opening day of the season, may be included.
Fellow forward Francis Jeffers could also return to the starting line-up after five successive appearances on the substitutes' bench following his recovery form a long-term ankle injury.
Full-back Peter Gilbert is back in contention following a hamstring injury but the Blades clash could be too soon for Tommy Spurr, whose ankle ligament injury is not as bad as first feared.
Stokes
Anthony Stokes goes straight into the Sheffield United squad for the South Yorkshire clash.
The striker has joined the Blades on a three-month loan deal from Sunderland and could be pitched straight in.
Boss Kevin Blackwell must decide whether to recall captain Chris Morgan, who was rested for the 3-0 home win over Bristol City due to a calf strain.
Ugo Ehiogu was outstanding in Morgan's absence and will hope to keep his place.
Striker Darius Henderson is returning to fitness following a knee injury but remains a slight doubt.
Matthew Spring, on loan from Luton, has been sidelined since the end of August with a foot problem but came through an hour for the reserves unscathed this week and could be involved.
