After back to back away fixtures, the Owls return to Hillsborough on Saturday.
Wigan Athletic are the visitors and will arrive in S6 in good spirits after winning two games from their previous three in the Championship.
The Latics endured a difficult start to the new campaign. After defeating Cardiff on the opening day, Paul Cook’s side went on to lose five consecutive fixtures – four in the Championship and one in the Carabao Cup.
The recent wins came over Charlton (2-0) and Birmingham (1-0) at the DW Stadium. Away from home, the Latics have won just one of their previous 27 games.
Wednesday will be looking to bounce back from defeat at Hull in midweek.
The Owls have won five of their last six meetings with Wigan.
