Sheffield Wednesday host Accrington Stanley in their final group-stage game of the Jersey Mike’s Trophy. The Owls are already through, but the visitors still have a chance of qualifying for the next round.

It will be Dave Challinor’s second game in charge and first game at home. Given the important League One game on Saturday against Plymouth Argyle, changes are likely, plus it’s a chance for the new boss to see other players in action.

Here’s our predicted 11 for the Jersey Mike’s Trophy clash against Accrington at Hillsborough.

GK – Connal Trueman

Connal Trueman came on in the FA Cup game against Oldham Athletic on Sunday after Ashley Maynard-Brewer picked up a knock. Challinor told The Star that AMB was:

“Just feeling a little bit ill. Obviously there was a collision, so we will see what that looks like.”

That means Trueman is likely to start in goal.

RCB – Gabriel Otegbayo

Gabriel Otegbayo hasn’t been the best this season, and with injuries at the back mounting up, it makes sense to give him a chance in this game.

He might be able to get back into the swing of things under the new boss, and this competition could be a good chance to test him out.

CB – Ernie Weaver

The fan favourite has been much more involved in first team action in recent weeks. He did well against Cambridge United and Blackpool, and came off the bench against the Latics.

It appears unlikely he will be leaving on loan this season, so using this competition for minutes, as well as featuring in league games when needed, makes sense.

LCB – Sil Swinkels

Sil Swinkels is available after serving his one-match ban for the red card he received against Blackpool. The defender could do with minutes, so it seems an obvious choice.

RWB – Sean Fusire

Sean Fusire hasn’t featured that much at all this season but came off the bench on Sunday and looked good. He picked up an assist for Davis Keillor-Dunn’s goal and didn’t look out of his depth on the right-hand side.

CM – Jarvis Thornton

Jarvis Thornton is another youngster who hasn’t played much this season. He came into the side in the second half of last season and showed some promise but hasn’t been given as many chances this campaign.

Using him in this game could be a good chance to build back his confidence and for Challinor to see what he thinks.

CM – Jaden Heskey

Young Jaden Heskey played the full 120 minutes on Sunday, but playing Wednesday night again shouldn’t be too much of an issue for him. He’s been a real positive this season.

LWB – Jordi Liongola

Risking Max Lowe in this game seems unnecessary, even if Jordi Liongola didn’t look the best on Sunday. He wasn’t playing in his natural position, so that might partly be to blame, but needs must given Reece James is out.

RAM – Jamal Lowe

Jamal Lowe was non-existent in the game Sunday, as has been the case for many games of late. He doesn’t seem to be a natural forward, so giving him a chance to play slightly deeper could help him out.

LAM – Callum Slattery

Ideally, Callum Slattery would be rested in this game, but because of injuries, he might be needed from the start.

ST – George Brown

The young forward was on the bench against Oldham Athletic, but Challinor opted not to use him. This game feels like a good chance for Brown to get his first senior start in a long time, and with Mason Burstow out injured, his return could be crucial.
