Two sides who have endured a slow start to the season square off in round 14 of the Championship as Sheffield Wednesday host Rotherham United on Sunday (October 29).
The hosts failed to get up and running in the Championship, as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday. Danny Rohl’s men remain winless in the league this season, losing 10 of 13 games. Sheffield are rooted to the bottom of the Championship, having picked up just three points.
Coventry, meanwhile, returned to winning ways last time out, edging out Coventry City 2-0 at the New York Stadium. Before that, Taylor’s side were on a six-game winless run, losing four and picking up two draws since mid-September.
With nine points from 12 games, Rotherham are 22nd in the Championship but could move level with 18th-placed Plymouth with all three points.
