    That nasty looking head injury for Sam Hutchinson has changed what Wednesday were planning to do.

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing should give them a bit more of a direct threat down their right. No sign of any Sunderland changes at present.

    Losing Sam Hutchinson is a big loss. I hope he's ok.

    That disruption also falls into Sunderland's hands, it will increase the stress levels of the Wednesday players and fans and the panic will start to set in.

    Because Sam Hutchinson, who looked very groggy, has a possible concussion that doesn't count as one of their three subs.

    Lynden Gooch is able to play on.

    Sam Hutchinson's day is over and Liam Palmer comes on to replace him at the back for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing also replaces Jack Hunt at wing-back.

    Calum Paterson was just about to come on too but that Hutchinson injury changed their plans.

    Owls' Sam Hutchinson has his head bandaged up and Sunderland's Lynden Gooch is still getting treatment. A stretcher comes on but isn't needed.

    Darren Moore has got to gamble. As the game then opens up, hopefully Sunderland can take advantage.

    Sunderland don't properly clear the corner and Sam Hutchinson flicks the ball towards goal but it's a simple save.

    There is a clash of heads so there's a break in play.

    The home fans are starting to lose patience here now. Wednesday have overplayed at the back a couple of times and in a game as tight as this they can ill-afford to give an easy chance away. Striker Lee Gregory has hardly had a kick this half. I wonder if Darren Moore will look to make a change soon.

    Huge moment as Owls' Josh Windass hammers a ball across the six-yard box, it flies past the Sunderland keeper and a defender just turns it behind for a corner.

    Owls' Jordan Storey sells keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell very short with a backpass and Ross Stewart races in to close him down. It's good play by BPF to just turn and boot the ball out for a throw-in rather than take the risk of kicking it down the pitch.

    Sheffield Wednesday keep the pressure on from a corner and Jordan Storey heads wide from Josh Windass' inswinging cross.

    Alex Pritchard has to wait until he can take this Sunderland corner and then he just hits the first man in Barry Bannan.

    If Sunderland score to go 2-0 up on aggregate you've got to think that's going to be it for Sheffield Wednesday. They are showing so little.

    Ross Stewart finds Patrick Roberts in the box. He shoots from a tight angle and shouts for a penalty as it hits Jordan Storey's arm - but the officials say no.

    Sunderland are having a good spell. Can they finish this tie?

    The game is very open now, it's become stretched.

    Sunderland's best chance. Jack Clarke goes on a lovely run into the box and then across the box and he lays it off to Patrick Roberts, whose 20-yard curling effort is saved by Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

    Darren Moore has some thinking to do. Does he make a change even though his best XI is on the pitch?

    The Owls had the best home record in the regular League One season in 2021-22, with 53 points.

    Can they get a final home win of the season?

    Bailey Peacock-Farrell punches away the corner. A moment later he tries to get an Owls attack going with a long punt but it's cut out.
