Changes coming off the bench from these two to force a winner?

One has been enforced so far for Wednesday with Steven Fletcher's earlier withdrawal.

Starting to open up a touch as we enter the last period.

Ross McCormack with a dangerous delivery from a Villa corner to the back post.

Tommy Elphick heads over as he times his run just off.

Just past the hour mark in this one.

Half-chances for both sides, but still nothing decisive.

Close from Villa for the first real time in this game.

A corner works its way back to Ashley Westwood to drill one right-footed on the edge of the box.

He fires it just wide, much to the relief of his namesake Keiren in the Wednesday goal.

Jordan Ayew has been one of Villa's main attacking outlets so far.

He tries to chase down and close the space on Wednesday keeper Keiren Westwood before he clears his lines.

Nothing doing on this occasion and the shadows start to lengthen across the Hillsborough pitch.

Sam Hutchinson clatters into a marauding Alan Hutton down Villa's right wing.

Hutchinson saw yellow in the first half and he's a touch fortunate there to escape any more punishment.

Villa free-kick comes to nothing.

Fernando Forestieri still looking Wednesday's most potent threat coming forward.

He's twisting and turning on the edge of the Villa area, trying to find a killer ball.

Villa have the answers for now and get it clear.

New Villa man Ross McCormack is making a debut this afternoon for his seventh different club.

Can he make it one to remember and give Villa a vital goal?

Action straight away for Wednesday as a low shot from Fernando Forestieri tests Pierluigi Gollini in Villa's goal.

Lovely floated cross in from Ross Wallace with the outside of his left foot.

And away we go again with that new-look kick-off.

I'm not a fan of this new law personally...

So, it's all-square in the Community Shield at Wembley, England have just gone 2-1 up in the Test series v Pakistan and Rio 2016 continues at full pelt.

Can Roberto di Matteo point his Villa side in the direction of three points?

Second half from Hillsborough on the way.

It's been cagey and competitive for sure.

But, not a lot to shout about in terms of clear chances. Half-time at Hillsborough, we'll go again in just under 15 minutes.

Five minutes of first-half time added on comes to an end as Wednesday defender Daniel Pudil can't quite get enough power on a header.

Almen Abdi put the free-kick into the area after Gary Gardner had hauled Fernando Forestieri down.

Another yellow card goes Wednesday's way and Tom Lees joins his centre-back partner Sam Hutchinson in the book.

He was adjudged to have tugged too tightly at Jordan Ayew's shirt down the Villa left.

Best effort of the half so far comes from Owls forward Fernando Forestieri.

He cuts inside on the edge of Villa's area on the Wednesday left and tries to curl one right-footed on target. Just scrapes over the crossbar.

Good tempo from the hosts in the closing minutes of the first period.

Ross Wallace the latest man to see yellow in this one.

He goes down close to Jordan Ayew's attention just inside Villa's box, but the ref is having none of that and books him for simulation.
