Championship football returns to S6 on Saturday as the Owls host Aston Villa.
It’s a game that carries plenty of significance in the season as two in-form sides go head to head at Hillsborough.
Aston Villa have won their previous five Championship fixtures to jump into the top six.
They hold a four-point advantage over Wednesday in the second tier with 60 points from 39 games.
The reverse fixture at Villa Park finished 2-1 to the Owls with Marco Matias and Steven Fletcher on target.
Here is swfc.co.uk’s match preview:
Team news
Owls: Steven Fletcher is expected to return to action after missing out last weekend at Stoke with a groin injury.
Manager Steve Bruce has confirmed that Gary Hooper, Fernando Forestieri and Sam Winnall will be involved.
Rolando Aarons (ankle) is a doubt for the clash with Villa, while the game will also come too soon for Achraf Lazaar, who has returned to training after suffering a hamstring injury.
Kieran Lee has trained all week, but it remains too early for the midfielder to be in contention.
Villa: Goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic (knee) could return to the squad after picking up an injury on international duty for Croatia.
Tom Carroll has returned to parent club Swansea for rehabilitation on a hip injury.
James Chester (knee), Tommy Elphick (foot) and Alan Hutton (knee) are all closing in on first team returns.
