Different circumstances have led to these two sides appointing new coaches in time for this Sunday afternoon clash at the John Smith's Stadium.
Jan Siewert was given the sack after Huddersfield's terrible Premier League form continued into the second tier. They've picked up just one point from the opening six games and have lost 26 of their last 31 league fixtures in total.
The Cowley brothers come in having led Lincoln City from the National League to League One, as well as the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. The pair have a reputation as young, exciting coaches and will be looking to back that up with a big win in their first match.
Sheffield Wednesday now have Garry Monk in the hotseat, in his fourth Championship job in four seasons, as the permanent successor to Steve Bruce. The Owls did passably well under interim boss Lee Bullen, starting the season with two wins and taking nine points from a possible 18. But his prospects for the job took a hit after they lost three of the last four Championship games.
With the new manager bounce, it's always difficult to call how games will go - but this should be a tightly-contested, potentially quite nervy game as both coaches look to avoid a defeat in their first fixture. We recommend going with a draw.
