Pick of the stats: Sheffield Wednesday v Norwich City
- Published
Wednesday provides a must-win night for both Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City as the two bottom clubs face each other at Hillsborough (19:45 GMT).
The Owls sit in the basement with -8 points following their 12 point deduction but, while their form has been less than spectacular, the Canaries visit will be one they will eye to boost morale with a much needed win.
Norwich have lost their past six successive games and are winless in eight (D1 L7), leaving them in the worst form of any Championship club.
Sheffield Wednesday failed to win any of their six league games against Norwich City between the 2018-19 and 2023-24 campaigns (D2 L4), but did achieve a league double over the Canaries last term (2-0 home, 3-2 away).
Norwich City have lost just one of their last four away league games against Sheffield Wednesday (W2 D1), but it was last season, going down 2-0 at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday are winless in their last eight home league games (D2 L6), including all seven so far this season (D1 L6) – it is already their longest ever start to a home campaign without winning at Hillsborough.
Norwich City have lost each of their last three away league games and could lose four in a row for the second time in 2025 (also March to April) – before this calendar year, the Canaries hadn't suffered that fate outside of the top-flight since December 2017 under Daniel Farke.
Norwich City manager Liam Manning is winless in seven previous league games against Sheffield Wednesday (D3 L4), the most times he has faced a side without victory in the Football League.
