It’s a South Yorkshire derby for the Owls this weekend as Garry Monk’s side face Barnsley at Oakwell.
With plenty riding on the fixture for both sides, all the ingredients are there for a fiercely contested derby clash.
For Wednesday, three points is the aim to get back on track in the Championship after going three without a win in the league.
Meanwhile Barnsley are cut adrift in the bottom three, seven points from safety and have lost their previous four games in all competitions.
