Windass starts: The predicted Sheffield Wednesday XI to face Southampton tonight

Munoz now has plenty of options at his disposal – and is likely to move away from Darren Moore’s back three system as the Owls enter a new chapter.

Sheffield Wednesday will be desperate to kick off their Championship return with a victory over relegated side Southampton this evening.

Considering how strong the Saints look at the moment, a victory for the Owls would be a massive statement but it wouldn’t be a major surprise if they came away with all three points.

The visitors still need time to adapt to Russell Martin’s methods and the hosts will benefit hugely from having the Hillsborough crowd behind them.

But it would still be impressive if the South Yorkshire outfit secured a win and it would be a further boost to a side that have managed to strengthen in recent days.

Di’Shon Bernard has arrived this week and so have Bambo Diaby and Anthony Musaba, with the latter two arriving for undisclosed fees.

Owner Dejphon Chansiri has been prepared to spend fees on a few players this summer – and Wednesday’s fans will be hoping they can enjoy a reasonably successful season following a reasonably slow start to the summer.

Now fully active in the market, the atmosphere in South Yorkshire should be exceptional this evening and ahead of this clash, we take a look at the starting lineup Xisco Munoz could put out.
