Wednesday are back on the road this weekend with a trip to Brentford.
It will be the Owls’ final visit to Griffin Park before the Bees relocate to their new stadium in the summer.
Both have struggled for victories of late. Brentford are winless in five – a run which has seen Thomas Frank’s side drift away from the automatic promotion places.
The Bees are fifth in the Championship with 57 points, nine more than the Owls, who head to the capital in 12th.
Team news
Wednesday: Kieran Lee (groin) will miss out this weekend.
Julian Börner (hamstring) will be assessed ahead of the game after being withdrawn at half time of the Owls’ FA Cup clash with Manchester City.
Massimo Luongo and Moses Odubajo have returned to training and could provide fresh options, while Adam Reach is expected back next week.
Brentford: The Bees could be boosted by the return of defender Pontus Jansson.
A hip injury has seen the influential stopper sidelined since January. Brentford have won just two of nine league games since the Swede last played.
