Prediction
Despite all the off-field issues and limited squad, you could argue Wednesday have done well to pick up six points from their opening eight matches and the fact they are on a three-match unbeaten run heading into this contest shows the determination of the players.
But the Owls have struggled to perform at home and they face a huge test against in-form Coventry, who have beaten Birmingham and Millwall to nil in their last two outings and look like real promotion contenders.
There is not much value in backing Lampard's side to come away with all three points, so the better play is to side with United States international Wright to grab the opening goal of the contest.
Wright notched a brace in Wednesday's win at Millwall, the first of those strikes being the opener at The Den, taking his account for the season to eight in all competitions.
The 27-year-old has opened the scoring in three of Coventry's league matches this season, two of those coming away from home, and he can do the same again in Sheffield.
