We resume our Championship campaign this weekend with a trip to Preston.
It’s been all change at Hillsborough over the last week with new manager Tony Pulis coming into the club.
Pulis has had his first full week on the training ground in preparation for the trip to Deepdale on Saturday.
Prior to the international break, Wednesday moved off the foot of the Championship table with the 0-0 draw against Millwall.
A win this weekend could see the Owls move out of the bottom three for the first time this season.
Preston, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four outings in the Championship, though have not tasted defeat on home soil against Wednesday since December 2011.
Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game;
