Sheffield Wednesday will host Shrewsbury at the Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday in another round of League One football.
The home side have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and will fancy themselves promotion contenders as they approach the midpoint of the season. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Accrington Stanley in their last game, with Alex Mighten scoring the sole goal of the game midway through the first half.
Sheffield Wednesday sit third in the league table with 37 points from 18 games. They will be looking to continue their strong run when they play at the weekend.
Shrewsbury, meanwhile, have struggled to come alive in League One despite their positive start to the season. They were beaten 1-0 by Barnsley last time out and could have no complaints after failing to create any noteworthy chances to alter the result.
The visitors sit 14th in the League One standings with 23 points from 18 matches and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this Saturday.
