Sheffield Wednesday Team News and Predicted XI vs Southampton

Sheffield Wednesday have shown resilience this season despite challenges. The team has managed two draws in their last two games—away at West Brom and at home against Norwich City—bringing their away draws total to four out of seven matches.

However, with only one league win so far and a 12-point deduction due to administration, the Owls sit at the bottom of the table and appear likely to face League One next season.
