THE MATCH
The battle for Championship survival is at boiling point. A raft of teams are in danger of the drop, two of whom face off at Hillsborough on Saturday.
Wednesday welcome Stoke to S6 and the stakes could hardly be higher. The Potters arrive with a slender three-point advantage and on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Swansea in midweek.
The Owls meanwhile mounted a memorable home comeback to wipe out Norwich’s two-goal lead to set up the key clash this weekend.
