- Published
Hillsborough hosts a game with big play-off implications as Sheffield Wednesday welcome Coventry on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
The Owls lie 8th, two points outside the top six, but with the Sky Blues just one point, and two places behind them.
After beating Coventry City 2-1 in October, Sheffield Wednesday are looking to win successive league games against the Sky Blues for the first time since October 2005.
Coventry have won on two of their past four league trips to Sheffield Wednesday (L2), and could record successive wins for the first time since September 1988.
Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their past five home league games (W2 D3); they last enjoyed a longer unbeaten run at Hillsborough in the second tier in December 2019 (8 games).
Coventry could win three successive away league games for the first time since January 2024, while they last recorded three consecutive league clean sheets on the road in March 2023.
Coventry's Ellis Simms has been involved in three goals in his last two away league games (2 goals, 1 assist) and could score in three successive away Championship games for the first time.
