Ninety seconds in and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Sam Hutchinson, who said earlier this week that 'nobody likes Leeds do they?', has snapped into two challenges.

Fair to say he's up for it.

In light of Claudio Ranieri's departure from Leicester City earlier this week we're asking you what's the harshest managerial sacking you can think of?

Gary Rowett leaving Birmingham certainly surprised a lot of people earlier this season.

Have you ever been replaced as manager of your Sunday league side despite leading them to league and or cup glory?

Ever been sacked on Football Manager when you were seemingly cruising towards the title?

The last time the Owls failed to score in a league match was the 0-0 draw against Wolves on 2 January.

Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield that the mood at the club is good.

The Owls suffered a surprise 2-1 home defeat by Brentford on Tuesday.

"We are positive. We are achieving a lot of points. Even with losing ther last game, we missed eight clear chances," he said.

"We are not down. We know why we lost."

He added: "People who are negative are like a virus. We don't have any reason to be negative. We are in a good position in the Championship."

Leeds United head coach Garry Monk told BBC Radio Leeds that his side will not change their mentality for the game against Sheffield Wednesday.

The play-off chasing Yorkshire rivals are tied on 58 points from 33 games and are six points ahead of seventh-placed Fulham.

"It's a very important three points but for me it's not a must win game," he said.

"It's a challenge for us to try and win and we're focused. This young group have been doing incredibly well and they're improving all the time.

Leeds United make two changes to the team that drew at Ipswich last week. Liam Bridcutt and Souleymane Doukara come in for Ronaldo Vieira and Stuart Dallas.

Sheffield Wednesday also make two changes after their surprise midweek defeat by Brentford. Morgan Fox and Jack Hunt come in for Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer, who both drop to the bench.

Tony Mowbray's first game in charge of Blackburn was so nearly a victory, but Burton's second-half equaliser meant Rovers had to settle for a point against one of their closest rivals at the bottom of the Championship.

There was derby delight for Birmingham City, as they won at Molineux to ease some of the pressure on manager Gianfranco Zola.

Wolves, meanwhile, are slipping perilously close to the drop zone after their fourth successive league defeat.

Before we start today's EFL action, let's have a quick look back at events in the Championship on Friday.

Today's first game sees fifth host sixth in the Championship.

With both 10 points off the automatic promotion places it's fair to say it's looking like it'll be the play-offs at best for the Yorkshire rivals.

However, with Fulham and Norwich just a few points behind, defeat for either side could prove to be disastrous.

Good afternoon and welcome to live text coverage of Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday.
