Sheffield Wednesday will look to build on their emphatic victory over AFC Wimbledon when they travel to Notts County in League One on Tuesday night.

The Owls returned to winning ways in style at Hillsborough on Saturday, thrashing Wimbledon 5-0 to extend their unbeaten league run to seven matches and climb back into the play-off places.

Davis Keillor-Dunn scored twice, while Barry Bannan, Harry Gray and Callum Slattery were also on target.

Wednesday have made an impressive start to the campaign, sitting sixth with 18 points from their opening nine fixtures and boasting one of the division's strongest defensive records.

They will now hope to maintain that momentum against a Notts County side enduring a difficult return to the third tier.

The Magpies sit 23rd after winning just one of their opening nine league matches, with their 2-0 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers last time out extending their losing streak to four games.

Martin Paterson's side have struggled for goals, scoring just eight times in the league so far, but they will hope home advantage can help them spring a surprise against the in-form Owls.

Both sides have injury absentees to manage ahead of the Meadow Lane meeting, with Wednesday particularly affected by a number of longer-term setbacks.

Lewis Macari

Macari has yet to return to action for Notts County since suffering an injury against Colchester United last April. The defender's lengthy absence has stretched into the new campaign, leaving the Magpies without a player who has been unavailable since their time in League Two.

Dean Campbell

Campbell has been sidelined with a calf injury, with his last appearance coming against Leicester City in August. His continued absence is another setback for Paterson as County attempt to turn around their disappointing start to life back in League One.

Emile Acquah

Acquah has also been missing since the Leicester fixture after picking up an injury in training in August. The forward is yet to feature since then, with County already struggling to find a consistent source of goals.

Beck Ray Enoru

January acquisition Enoru underwent surgery on an infection in May and is still yet to return from the sidelines.

Matty Platt

Platt is another long-term absentee for the Magpies after suffering an ACL injury against Chesterfield in March. The defender faces a lengthy recovery, leaving Paterson without another option at the back.

Cole McGhee

The promising young centre-back remains sidelined after suffering a shoulder injury during Wednesday's pre-season friendly against Accrington Stanley. His absence has delayed his opportunity to make an impression in the senior side.

Sil Swinkels

The Dutch defender was touch-and-go to make the bench against AFC Wimbledon at the weekend but ultimately missed out. A hamstring injury has been keeping him away since August, but Pedersen says he will be back soon.

Jordi Liongola

Liongola is also nearing a comeback after suffering a hamstring injury. The winger has returned to full training with the Owls, but Tuesday's trip to Meadow Lane is likely to come too soon.

Tyler Onyango

Onyango faces the remainder of the season on the sidelines after suffering an ACL injury. The summer acquisition will be a significant long-term absentee for Pedersen as Wednesday look to maintain their play-off push.

Louie Barry

A freak ankle injury at Wycombe away has kept Louie Barry out of training with the Owls - but Henrik Pedersen says the winger is recovering well.
