Two of the top six in the Sky Bet Championship go head-to-head at the Cardiff City Stadium. Former Blades manager Neil Warnock is always up for it when he comes up against the Owls.
Form (Cardiff City)
Cardiff go into this game on the back of their first defeat of the season, losing 3-0 away at Preston on Tuesday night. Before this came five straight wins and a draw, which is why they are currently 2nd in the table.
Form (Sheffield Wednesday)
Sheffield Wednesday have won back-to-back games for the first time this season, both coming at Hillsborough. They beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 and followed that up with a 2-1 win against Brentford.
The Owls are unbeaten in the league since the first game of the season and have made their best start to a season under Carlos Carvalhal.
