The action continues in round 28 of the EFL Championship as Sheffield Wednesday play host to Bristol City on Wednesday. The Robins have failed to win their last seven visits to the Hillsborough Stadium and will be looking to end this poor run.
Sheffield Wednesday continued to struggle for results as they suffered a 3-0 thrashing against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday. The Owls have now failed to win five of their last six matches across all competitions, claiming two draws and losing three, including a penalty-shootout defeat against Coventry City in the FA Cup third round on January 11.
Sheffield Wednesday have picked up 37 points from their 27 Championship games to sit 10th in the league table, level on points with Wednesday’s visitors in ninth place.
