Sheffield Wednesday defender Daniel Pudil is an injury doubt for the home game against Millwall.

Left-back Pudil sustained a hamstring injury in Saturday's home draw against Barnsley and the Owls are waiting to learn the full extent of the problem. Skipper Glenn Loovens is back in contention after serving a one-game ban, but midfielder Sam Hutchinson requires knee surgery and will be sidelined for several weeks at least.

Prutton's prediction

Is time running out for Carlos Carvalhal? They're behind Millwall in the table going into this game and they need to start chalking up some wins as soon as possible.

This just has to be a victory for Sheffield Wednesday for me against a side who are yet to win on the road. Millwall will never be easy to beat, but I feel this will be a narrow home win.

Prutton predicts: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
