nPower Championship: Ipswich Town

With only 12 games on the board, both teams meeting at Portman Road needed all 3 points at the final whistle as both clubs languish in the early relegation zone. Ipswich, acting on their alarming start by parting ways with manager (and ex-Wednesday boss) Paul Jewell, start at the foot of the table.

nPower Championship: Blackburn Rovers

With the Owls in desperate need of 3 points a trip to Ewood Park would prove to be a tough test. Hosting Premier League football last season shows the calibre of Sheffield Wednesdays opposition for the evening kick off.

nPower Championship: Leeds United

The pre-match banter started early between rival fans as the derby game drew closer, welcoming league football back after the international break. The term 'your clubs Cup Final' was banded out frequently and the scene was set for a dramatic 90 minutes of Yorkshire football. With the added spice of a Sheffield United contingent in the Leeds side with Warnock, Tonge, Kenny and Brown, the atmosphere was sure to be intense.

nPower Championship: Hull City

The visit of Hull to Hillsborough would always be a tough game but Wednesday had a new belief about them, a product of achieving a 3-3 draw in their last outing against Burnley. Hull themselves were not getting the right results so the scene was set for a good match - both teams out to prove a point.

nPower Championship: Burnley FC

The first meeting in over 3 years between these two sides was almost guaranteed goals with recent performances. Both sets of defences were under scrutiny as goals were leaking at an alarming rate. The previous encounter at Turf Moor between the Clarets & Owls ended as a 2-4 win for Wednesday, in February 2009.
