Never done one before, but here's the BBC's preview of the match:

Sheffield Wednesday are likely to again utilise some younger players when they finish their season at home to Norwich.

Jos Luhukay's in-form side have won five of their past eight matches and drew 0-0 against champions Wolves at Molineux in their most recent outing.

Norwich are without Mario Vrancic (groin) and Alex Tettey (knee), while centre-back Grant Hanley (ankle) is a doubt for the trip to Hillsborough.

Victory will secure a top-half finish for Daniel Farke's Canaries.

SAM's prediction
Home win 36% Draw 27% Away win 37%

Match facts
  • The Owls have lost one of their past 15 home matches against Norwich in all competitions (W10 D4), a 5-0 defeat in December 2001.
  • Since losing eight consecutive league matches to the Owls between 2005 and 2009, the Canaries have lost just one of their past five (W2 D2).
  • Sheffield Wednesday have kept three consecutive clean sheets (W2 D1), last going on a longer run in April 2016 (run of four).
  • Norwich have lost five of their past six away league matches on the final day of a league season (W1), conceding 22 goals in those matches.
  • Irrespective of their result in this game, Sheffield Wednesday will hit their lowest points tally since the 2013-14 season (53, currently on 54 points).
  • James Maddison has been directly involved in 46% of Norwich's 48 league goals this campaign (14 goals, eight assists) - no Championship player has been involved in a higher percentage of their side's goals
 
On mobile so can't post lineup, but surprised to see Nelson start, and no youngsters included. Finishing ahead of Ipswich prioritised?

Great opportunity to give one or two of the youngsters a chance and I'm beginning to wonder if all the talk by SW/DF is just talk!!!!
We'll have to wait till pre-season to see if any do get their chance. [HASHTAG]#notholdingmybreath[/HASHTAG]
 
No movement on what I think of the Manager. He’s clueless. This season has been a mess. Not because of a re-build, coz we still had some class players. Who have fell off a cliff performance wise.

5-1. Against Wednesday?! Are you kidding me?! Jesus. What an embarrassment. Finish bellow Ipswich. The only aim we had left, and he f*cked that up as well. Even the bare minimum we hoped was too much for this manager.

I am guessing you want him to go (I have not read much on here recently). I have to join forces with you and would not shed a single tear or even feel in the slightest sorry for him if he was given his marching orders tomorrow morning. From what little I have seen and read this season, he is way out of his depth
 
Ambitions for the season.

Play attacking attractive exciting football 2-10

Score goals 2-10 we have 2 strikers and they are both garbage.

Solid defence 5-10 although the hard work and 1-0 wins have all but gone and we finished over minus 10 gd.

Top 6 finish 0-10 never looked likely

Progress for next season 2-10
All of our good players will probably be sold .

The most boring season ever and still the one of the most expensive to watch.

Don’t want him to go atm.

I don’t have any belief in him, I don’t think he has any tactical intelligence and forgets he can make subs.

Not saying I want him to go, but wouldn’t care less if he left now.

In all honesty, as I´ve been saying all along, he should never ever have been appointed, and for that we can thank Webber, god knows what he was thinking about. Whether now is the right tíme to get rid is hard to know, but one thing is certain, if next season from day one, isn´t a complete turnaround, he´ll have to go, and possibly Webber with him, before any more damage is done.

This has been the worst and most depressing, uninteresting NCFC season, I can remember.

Yea, I’ve said this kind of thing a fair few times and been tore into. I’m guessing you won’t be, but I agree. He seems clueless. He seems to have got the job because he was a youth coach at Dortmund.

I said at the time and in times after. Just coz Kloop and Wagner were good, doesn’t mean every single one is.

He seems a lovely camp little bloke, but he doesn’t seem to know much about how matches go, and that you can change things if you want
