nPower Championship: Crystal Palace

Promotion chasing Crystal Palace visit Hillsborough knowing that 3 points against a team battling hard against relegation, would make huge strides towards a return to the Premier League. The Owls have started looking over their shoulder as the trapdoor to League One creaks open and a resurgent Barnsley embarking an upturn of fortunes keep Wednesday firmly in the mix. A point here for The Owls would be a positive result.

nPower Championship: Birmingham City

 With the battle to beat the drop hotting up, every passing week more teams are being dragged into the danger zone and this would be a huge 3 points for either side as Sheffield Wednesday visit Birmingham City. The last time the Owls were away they produced a 1-2 win over Charlton Athletic whilst the last time Birmingham played at St. Andrews, they collapsed to a 0-4 loss to Watford.

nPower Championship: Derby County

Rewind back to the opening day of the current campaign and Sheffield Wednesday, fresh from promotion, claw back a 2-0 deficit at Pride Park to claim a point. Since then County have been pushing for a play-off position whilst Wednesday battle against relegation back to League One. Mid-week coup Connor Wickham starts on the Owls bench as the home side look to continue the recent run of form that saw Brighton humbled 3-1 last time out, whilst the Rams were hoping to build on the 3-0 mauling of Huddersfield Town.

nPower Championship: Brighton & Hove Albion FC

The most talked about stat amongst the 2 sets of fans was that Brighton had never beaten Wednesday at Hillsborough, a fact that had a real chance of being scrapped this time round as The Seagulls come to Sheffield with ambitions of a playoff place. The Owls have seemingly turned a corner since their 2-3 home loss against strugglers Bristol City at the start of December - and go into the match in a rich vein of form.

nPower Championship: Charlton Athletic

With postponements up and down the country playing havoc with the football fixtures, Charlton enlisted the help of their supporters to clear the ice and snow from The Valley to ensure the match with Sheffield Wednesday would go ahead. Last seasons nPower League One champions and runners-up face off with the hosts taking to life in the higher division easier than the visitors - sitting comfortably in mid table whilst Wednesday languish just outside the relegation zone.
