Callum Robinson could make his long-awaited return for Cardiff City as they face Sheffield Wednesday today. The 29-year-old striker, who has been the Bluebirds’ top scorer this season with five Championship goals, missed their previous match against Blackburn Rovers due to injury. However, manager Omer Riza has confirmed that Robinson is back in training and will be in contention for the squad. Despite his return, Cardiff will be without Kion Etete and Aaron Ramsey, both of whom have suffered setbacks in their recovery. Robinson, familiar with Sheffield from his time at Sheffield United, will be hoping to make an impact as Cardiff aims to secure three points and move up the league table.

Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff City will both view Saturday’s clash at Hillsborough as a crucial opportunity to earn three points, with Sky Sports pundit David Prutton predicting a 1-1 draw.

Wednesday, desperate to recover from a painful defeat in the Steel City derby, will look to bounce back after a season of inconsistent form. They sit 15th in the Championship, just above Cardiff, who have yet to win on the road this season. Cardiff, reeling from back-to-back defeats, are hoping to regain their earlier form under interim boss Omer Riza.

Prutton believes the game will be a tough contest for both sides, with Wednesday needing a reaction and Cardiff fighting to avoid further setbacks. The pundit expects the match to end in a draw, acknowledging the challenges facing both teams as they look to turn their fortunes around.

In a highly anticipated clash, Premier League side Brentford will host Sheffield Wednesday tonight, as the Owls aim for a Carabao Cup upset. Manager Danny Röhl has been weighing his team selection, admitting as recently as Friday that he was unsure whether to make significant changes or stick with a core group of players. This season, Röhl has taken advantage of cup outings to rotate his squad, giving opportunities to fringe players and achieving notable victories against teams from every EFL division.

However, tonight’s opponent, Brentford, presents the toughest challenge yet, backed by a deep squad honed from three years of Premier League competition. Röhl is also mindful of the grueling Championship schedule ahead, including the Sheffield derby on November 10, especially after injuries to key players like Akin Famewo and Olaf Kobacki.

In a conversation with *The Star*, Röhl reflected on the importance of the cup match while acknowledging the demands of upcoming fixtures. He expressed a mixture of excitement and caution, stating, “On the one hand, I am really looking forward to such a game because we worked now to get to the fourth round, and it is a great opportunity. We deserve it.” With a strong focus on preparation, he remains optimistic about advancing in the tournament, saying, “We will take the cup game, we will try, we will be prepared, and maybe we can step into the next round. Why not?”

Le Bris emphasized the significance of effective communication with the players, noting a marked improvement in their performance during the second half of the match. “We clearly shared the strategy with the players, and I believe the second half reflected that improvement,” he stated, showcasing the strong communication skills that have garnered praise from Sunderland’s owner, Louis-Dreyfus.

He highlighted the need to exploit space behind Oxford’s man-marking system, explaining, “We made two or three adjustments to the movement of the midfielders and wingers to draw their players in, allowing us to play Wilson behind them.” These tactical changes enabled Sunderland to gain greater control over the game, leading to two goals in the second half.

Looking ahead, Sunderland faces a different challenge this weekend against Oxford United, who have only suffered three defeats in their first 11 matches under Des Buckingham. However, with all of Oxford’s losses coming away from home, Sunderland will be the favorites to secure a win at the Stadium of Light.
