Key Players to Watch: Sheffield Wednesday vs Bristol City

Barry Bannan (Sheff Wed) Wednesday's captain remains the heartbeat of the midfield, despite his age of 35, and his passion for the club could be a driving factor for securing their first win of the season, as they aim to stay up amidst financial restrictions.

Bailey Cadamarteri (Sheff Wed) is fresh from scoring his first international goal for Jamaica over the international break, and will give him great confidence that he can add to his single goal in two starts so far.

Scott Twine (Bristol City) has made a devastating impact already this season, with three goals and one assist plus an inclusion in the Championship Team of the Week - the forward is certainly the biggest threat for The Owls to deal with.

Anis Mehmeti (Bristol City) The wide midfielder gets up and down the wing to not only contribute to the attack but also support the full back, with two goals, an assist and two spots in the aforementioned Team of the Week showing he is one of the best wide players in the league.
