Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to build on from last weekend’s triumph this afternoon, but they face a tough test in a fellow playoff-chasing side.
The Owls ended a five-match barren streak with a 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic with goals coming from Steven Fletcher and Atdhe Nuhiu.

Just one point separates them from their next opponents so a result at Hillsborough could do wonders in kickstarting Wednesday’s festive period.
Garry Monk could be forced with a selection dilemma, but what sort of side will he put out?
We expect the 40-year-old to make two changes to the side that won at The Valley last time out.
The first of which is enforced as Fernando Forestieri, who was handed his first start under the Owls boss, picked up an injury and had to be substituted at the break.
Newcastle United loanee Jacob Murphy came on in his place, so it seems likely that he does the same this time around with Kadeem Harris once again switching back to the left-wing.
The other change could be in defence as Dominic Iorfa is moved to right-back in order to combat the Bees’ threat that means Moses Odubajo drops to the bench while there is a reintroduction for Julian Borner alongside skipper Tom Lees.
The German was absent at the weekend through suspension so a return to the starting line up this weekend makes a ton of sense.
It means the rest of the side stays the same as the Owls once again run with a 4-4-2 formation with both Steven Fletcher and Atdhe Nuhiu leading the line.
