The Owls travel to Birmingham on Saturday afternoon in the Championship (3.00pm) and here is swfc.co.uk’s match preview:
Following back to back defeats to Middlesbrough and QPR, the Owls have fallen away from the play-off pack in the past week.
Jos Luhukay’s squad moved into the top six just before the break with victory over Bristol City but successive defeats since have seen the Owls drop to 14th.
Birmingham, meanwhile, are unbeaten in ten and have won their previous three Championship fixtures, putting Rotherham, Stoke and Reading to the sword.
The Blues have drawn six of those past ten games.
Team news
Owls: Daniel Pudil has been ruled out of the trip to St Andrew’s. The defender was struck by a stray boot to the face during the clash with QPR and was withdrawn to receive treatment.
Otherwise there are no fresh injury concerns from the midweek defeat at Loftus Road.
Birmingham: Ex-Owl Jacques Maghoma is a major doubt for the Blues after sustaining an ankle injury in the victory over Reading on Tuesday.
Isaac Vassell (hip) and David Davis (ankle) remain on the sidelines.
