One to watch

Chris Brunt

Sheffield Wednesday's top scorer

Chris Brunt - 6 goals

Sheffield Wednesday's bad boy

John Hills - 6 1

The 21 year old former Middlesbrough trainee has recently been linked with a Premiership move to Manchester City before signing an extension to his contract at Hillsborough.

The Northern Ireland international has netted 6 times this season and is renound for being a free kick specialist. With Palace conceding an extortionate amount of goals from set pieces, they'd better keep an eye on this fella.
