Huddersfield, perhaps surprisingly, have the edge in the head-to-head bstween the two sides with Wednesday winning 18 of their 54 encounters and the Terriers coming out on top in 24.

However you have to go back to November 2013 for the last time Huddersfield beat the Owls when a last minute strike from Connor Wickham at Hillsborough proved to be a consolation after goals from Martin Paterson and Adam Clayton. Only Jose Semedo survives from that squad. Since then the Owls have the upper hand with two draws being followed by Wednesday doing the double over their Yorkshire rivals last season. A Lucas Joao brace and another for Kieran Lee did the damage in a 3-1 win at home while Fernando Forestieri settled a 1-0 success at the John Smith’s Stadium.
