We said: Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 Mansfield Town

 While there is still plenty of room for improvement given the quality in their side, Sheffield Wednesday appear to have found a winning formula this season, and they should have too much for their fourth-tier visitors on Saturday. Several players will be keen to impress Moore, and the Owls should comfortably get past Clough's men with home advantage and a superior squad. Read more.
