Sheffield Wednesday v Bristol City - Sky Bet Championship
Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle lock horns in round 36 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday

The action continues in round 36 of the EFL Championship as Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle lock horns at the Hillsborough Stadium on Tuesday.

Danny Rohl’s men set out in search of a fourth win on the spin for the first time this season as they continue their push from the relegation zone.

Sheffield United prevailed in a crunch bottom-of-the-table clash last Saturday when they picked up a 1-0 victory over rock-bottom Rotherham United at the New York Stadium.

The Owls have now won three games on the bounce — scoring five goals and keeping two clean sheets — a run which has rekindled their hopes of beating the drop.

With 35 points from 35 matches, Sheffield Wednesday are currently 23rd in the Championship table, just three points away from safety with 11 games to go.

Plymouth Argyle, on the other hand, were sent crashing back down to earth at the weekend as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Ipswich Town on home turf.

Prior to that, Ian Foster’s side snapped their five-game winless run across all competitions on February 24 courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough.

The poor run of results has seen Plymouth drop into the relegation conversation as they now sit 16th in the Championship table, just two points above the drop zone.
