But in truth, this weekend’s opener has been overshadowed by the off-field issues stemming from owner Dejphon Chansiri, which have plagued Sheffield Wednesday ahead of the start of the new campaign and left them as clear relegation favourites.

The EFL has given the Owls the green light to start the season and captain Barry Bannan has indicated the players will take to the field at the King Power Stadium, but concerns over the future of the historic club cast a dark cloud over Sunday’s game at the King Power Stadium.
