Sheffield Wednesday will host Watford at the Hillsborough Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
The home side have endured a difficult run of results in the second-tier this season and are currently fighting for survival. They were beaten 2-1 by Coventry City in their last league outing finding themselves two goals down before Josh Windass scored a second-half consolation goal.
Sheffield Wednesday sit 23rd in the league table with 22 points from 28 games. They are just three points above Rotherham United at the bottom of the pile and will be looking to widen that gap on Wednesday.
Watford meanwhile are playing well at the moment and are now pushing for a promotion playoff spot at the end of the campaign. They played out a 1-1 draw against Bristol City last time out in the Championship and followed that up with another 1-1 draw against Southampton in the FA Cup on Sunday.
The visitors sit 10th in the league standings with 40 points picked so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this week.
