THE MATCH
The Owls will achieve a significant milestone this evening as the clash with Norwich is the club’s 5,000th league fixture.
Wednesday are only the 10th EFL club to reach this huge milestone.
Standing in the way this evening are a strong Norwich side who prevailed in the East Anglian derby at the weekend.
David Wagner’s side triumphed against rivals Ipswich at Carrow Road with Marcelino Nunez scoring the only goal of the game.
Wednesday, of course, posted three vital points in the trip to QPR as goals from substitutes Djeidi Gassama and Anthony Musaba settled the key fixture.
The victory has kept Danny Röhl’s side in touch of Championship safety and once again, there is potential for the Owls to climb out of the relegation zone tonight.
