THE MATCH

After three consecutive away fixtures, the Owls return to Hillsborough on Saturday for the clash with Lincoln.

Wednesday will be looking for a return to winning ways after three without victory but will be buoyed by the manner of the comeback in midweek at Cheltenham.

At 2-0 down with the clock ticking, the Owls produced a spirited fightback to leave with what could prove a crucial point.

Lincoln head to S6 comfortably in mid-table.

The Imps have proven a tough nut to crack in the third tier this season and have drawn more games than any other side – 18 in total with 13 of those on home soil.

Our previous fixture this season finished 1-1 at Sincil Bank.

TEAM NEWS

Wednesday: Jack Hunt (muscle) has been ruled out for a period of weeks.

Dominic Iorfa has been passed fit to play after picking up a slight knock at Cheltenham.

Lincoln: Sean Roughan (Republic of Ireland) and Carl Rushworth (England Under-21s) are back from international duty.

Paudie O’Connor returns from suspension, while former Owls loanee Mide Shodipo could figure.
