Matchday preview: 04.10.2013

Sheffield Wednesday v Ipswich
Sheffield Wednesday have no new major injury concerns ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash with Ipswich at Hillsborough. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy is expected to name an unchanged side for the trip.

Striker Daryl Murphy, who scored twice in Town's 4-4 draw with Derby in midweek, is likely to keep his place up front alongside September's Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month David McGoldrick.

Defender Tyrone Mings was named on the bench at Pride Park following his recovery from the knee injury that has kept him out since the opening day of the season. He could play some part against the Owls.

Colchester v Wolves
The U's injury crisis shows no signs of easing as manager Joe Dunne tries to prepare to face third-placed Wolves.

The U's boss has 11 players unavailable, leaving him down to the bare bones for the visit of Kenny Jackett's side.

Sanchez Watt, Tosin Olufemi (both thigh), Drey Wright (knee), Tom Eastman, Josh Thompson (both ankle), Mark Cousins (foot), Conor Hubble (dead leg) Gavin Massey and Mason Spence (both hamstring) are all occupying the sidelines through injury.

To make matters worse, Ryan Dickson is struggling with the after-effects of illness and Daniel Pappoe completes his three-match ban.

James Henry is in line to make his Wolves debut away at Colchester.

Oxford v Southend
Southend manager Phil Brown can call on the services of Ben Coker for the trip to Oxford.

The versatile Coker is available again after completing a one-match suspension for the red card he received in the 1-1 draw against Bury.

Striker Barry Corr and on-loan Fulham forward Cauley Woodrow both enhanced their claims for a promotion to Brown's starting XI after scoring for the reserves in midweek.

Midfielder Marc Laird (hamstring) is still two weeks away from a return to training.
