Match preview: Owls v Bristol City

20 December 2019

Sheffield Wednesday return to Hillsborough on Sunday (12.00pm) for the final game before Christmas.

Bristol City are the visitors this weekend, who are outside the top six only on goal difference but looking to respond after suffering back to back defeats.

Those two losses both came on home soil against Millwall (1-2) and Blackburn (0-2).

The Robins haven't lost three in a row since November 2018.

Wednesday, meanwhile, will be aiming to build on last weekend’s superb performance away at Nottingham Forest.
