Having advanced in the FA Cup on Friday at QPR, the Owls return to Championship action tonight v Wigan (7.45pm).
After suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of Blackburn last time out in the league, Garry Monk wants to see the positives from the reaction in the cup taken to the DW Stadium this evening.
Morgan Fox and Sam Winnall were on target in the capital as the Owls posted their third away win on the bounce – to go along with the victories over Brighton and Leeds.
The Latics are in need of a turnaround in fortunes after just one win in 16 Championship outings.
Wigan have also struggled on home soil and are without a win in seven at the DW Stadium.
The Owls head into the fixture in 10th spot on 42 points, while Wigan are in 23rd position and six points from safety.
