Wigan v Derby

Derby will be buoyed by the return of Jack Marriott to the team after the forward, who has five league goals this term, has been out with a foot injury.

Hosts Wigan are once again without key attacking midfielder Nick Powell, who was absent for last week's draw with Bolton following a hamstring problem.

Recommendation
Derby
1pt 6-4 Betfred

Sheffield Wednesday v Rotherham

A multitude of key absences for the Rotherham line-up make Sheffield Wednesday a value bet in this clash.

The visitors expected at least one of Clark Robertson, Joe Newell, Matty Palmer or Kyle Vassell to start after missing training but none of the quartet make the starting 11.

The home side have Steven Fletcher, who came off at half time against Blackburn, on the bench and they can account for a Rotherham side winless in four.

Recommendation
Sheffield Wednesday
1pt 23-20 general
