The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City square off at the Hillsborough Stadium on Tuesday. The Canaries are unbeaten in their last six games against the home side since May 2018 and will be looking to extend this six-year dominance.
Sheffield Wednesday were condemned to their biggest defeat of the season at the weekend as they were hammered 6-2 by Watford on home turf.
This followed a penalty-shootout loss against Premier League side Brentford in the EFL Cup round of 16 on October 29 after a 1-1 draw in normal time at the Gtech Community Stadium.
With 15 points from 13 matches, Sheffield Wednesday are currently 18th in the Championship table, just three points above the bottom three.
