Owls boss Alan Irvine has made two changes to the side that lost at Carlisle in midweek with Lewis Butxon and Gary Teale both returning to the starting line-up at Swindon.

Teale comes into the Wednesday midfield, while Jermaine Johnson is expected to push up and support striker Clinton Morrison in the absence of the injured Neil Mellow.

Buxton returns to replace Daniel Jones, with Tommy Spurr moving back to his preferred left-back position.

Jon-Paul McGovern plays for Town to face Wednesday for the first time since leaving Hillsborough, but former Owls stopper David Lucas has to make do with a place on the bench.

Swindon: Smith, Cuthbert, Rose, Douglas, Caddis, McGovern, Pericard, Prutton, Morrison, Ritchie, Austin. Substitutes: Lucas, Frampton, Ferry, Timlin, Ball, Dossevi, Sheehan.

Wednesday: Weaver, Buxton, Purse, Beevers, Spurr, Sedgwick, Miller, Potter, Teale, Johnson, Morrison. Substitutes: Jameson, Hinds, Jones, Coke, O’Connor, Palmer, Heffernan.
