The Owls’ recent upturn in form – which has seen them win four of their last five games, including the FA Cup victory at Exeter City on Saturday – began by defeating the Sky Blues 1-0 at Hillsborough on December 19.

It’s a run which has lifted Wednesday, under the guidance of caretaker manager Neil Thompson, out of the Sky Bet Championship’s bottom three.
