Sheffield Wednesday host Wycombe Wanderers at the Hillsborough Stadium for a clash in the Championship, as the sides currently occupy the bottom two places in the standings.
The Owls are second to last, with 25 points from 27 games. They have won only eight games so far, as their run of nine consecutive seasons in the second-tier of the English football is heading to a close.
The club has also seen two managerial changes. Garry Monk, in-charge since September 2019, was dismissed in November. His successor Tony Pulis, who oversaw just 10 games and won just once, was sacked in December.
Niel Thompson is currently the caretaker manager, and the form has improved under him, with four victories from the last six games.

However, they are coming off the back of a 4-1 thumping to Milwall last weekend.
The situation is much worse for Wycombe, who are playing in the Championship for the very first time in their history.
Rooted at the foot of the table with just 15 points, the Chairboys have won only three games all season, and look set to go back down to League One.

Both teams are desperate for points, but we do not expect a high-scoring clash. Wycombe's appalling record of just a single victory away from home could see Sheffield bag a win here.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Wycombe Wanderers
