- 10' Josh Cullen is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Burnley FC so far.
- 15' It looks surprising Burnley FC does not make any changes. Maxime Esteve has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 25' Connor Roberts has been relatively quiet despite scoring 22 goals in his last 391 appearances.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 37' What a moment for Jaidon Anthony! That strike on 37 puts his side firmly in control.
- 42' Sheffield Wednesday FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 47' Burnley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 47.
- 50' Against the run of play, Josh Brownhill has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 55' Luca Koleosho has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 55.
- 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Scott Parker will be considering his options from the bench.

- 65' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Shea Charles.
- 70' The travelling Burnley FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 73' Liam Palmer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shea Charles on 73 minute.
- 75' Jeremy Sarmiento is replacing Luca Koleosho for the Burnley FC side.
- 80' Barry Bannan is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sheffield Wednesday FC tonight.
- 85' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 87' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jeremy Sarmiento on 87.
- 89' Burnley FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Han-Noah Massengo is hanging Josh Cullen on the field on 89 minute.
