We said: Oxford United 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday

Despite there being 19 places and 42 points between these two sides heading into Friday's encounter, Oxford have shown signs of trending in the right direction under Manning's stewardship in their last two matches. However, Sheffield Wednesday's winless run surely cannot continue much longer, and we expect them to claim a tight victory to remain top of the table. Read more.
