The Owls host Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
It’s the first time Wednesday have been at home in the competition this season having advanced in the previous two rounds away from Hillsborough.
A 1-0 and 2-1 win over Brighton and QPR respectively saw Garry Monk’s side set up the cup-tie with City.
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side are in outstanding form and head to Hillsborough on the back of four successive wins.
In the last two, the Citizens have beaten Real Madrid 2-1 away from home in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 encounter.
They followed up their first ever win at the Bernabeu by defeating Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday at Wembley to secure the silverware for the third season running.
City will now be looking to defend their FA Cup crown having lifted the famous old domestic trophy last season with a crushing 6-0 win over Watford in the final last May.
Team news
SWFC: Wednesday will be without loan recruits Josh Windass and Connor Wickham, who are both cup-tied.
Moses Odubajo, Massimo Luongo and Adam Reach are unlikely to figure.
Steven Fletcher continues to build up his fitness after a spell on the sidelines but Monk has said the striker will be involved in some capacity.
Man City: Top scorer Sergio Agüero is available for selection after picking up a knock in the Carabao Cup final.
The City boss has also confirmed that goalkeeper Claudio Bravo will be in the starting line-up.
Leroy Sane has been making good progress after a long period out of action but will not feature at Hillsborough.
