League One continues this weekend and will see Sheffield Wednesday host Cheltenham Town at the Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Sheffield Wednesday have had mixed results of late and are on a run of back-to-back draws. They played out a goalless draw against Gillingham last time out and were far from their best as they struggled to cope with the relegation battlers.
The home team sit seventh in the League One table with 66 points from 38 games. They can return to the playoff spots with a win on Saturday and will be looking to do just that.
Cheltenham Town were beaten 2-0 by high-flying Plymouth Argyle in their last game and perhaps deserved more from the game but could not find a way past Michael Cooper in the opposition goal.
The Robins sit mid-table in 12th place, with 50 points from 39 games. The newly-promoted outfit look set to retain their League One status this season and will now be targeting a top-half finish.
