Prediction: 0-0
James Mappin (The WTID Podcast): The final game of the season. A chance to end the season in style. It's the most 'dead rubber' game you can get as 13th hosts 12th in the 'battle for the top half' up for grabs.
Watford away was Danny's first game in charge. We're hoping that it won't be his last but it's becoming increasingly likely given the language he's been using to the media.
In terms of the game itself I expect them to put in a good performance - for the fans if nothing else. A lot of the players that step foot on the pitch on Saturday might be doing so in a blue and white shirt for the final time this season so they'd want to go out in style and try and overturn that 6-2 deficit from the return fixture.
Prediction: 1-2

Sheffield Wed. ( vs Portsmouth 2025-04-26): Pierce Charles, Callum Paterson, Michael Ihiekwe, Shea Charles, Marvin Johnson, Barry Bannan, Yan Valery, Stuart Armstrong, Djeidi Gassama, Josh Windass, Michael Smith
