Leeds United 0 Sheffield Wednesday 0: Reaction, recap and analysis from Elland Road
and live on Freeview channel 276
Daniel Farke’s side recorded their first Championship victory of the new campaign at the fourth time of asking through last weekend’s 4-3 win at Ipswich Town. Farke then made six changes to his side for Tuesday evening’s Carabao Cup tie at League Two hosts Salford City who knocked Leeds out 9-8 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Four days later, the Whites hosted an Owls side who arrived bottom of the Championship and still without a point following four defeats from four. But that all changed at Elland Road as the Owls bagged their first point of the season through a goalless draw in which wastefulness in front of goal cost the Whites dear. Here is our recap of the day’s events plus reaction and analysis.

Can’t grumble
With that Leeds team - or bench considering the number of players still out injured. You’d think that Leeds would have far too much for pointless Wednesday here. We all know that football is a funny old game and how Leeds it would be to slip up here but there’s loads of confidence here from throughout the press box that this will be a comfortable home win. 3-0.
