The Owls, who haven’t won for eight games and are yet to register a victory under recently-appointed Tony Pulis, had an afternoon to forget on Saturday when they were beaten 2-1 by South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley at Hillsborough and lost key man Dominic Iorfa for the season after he ruptured an achilles tendon.

However, they will come up against a Forest side also on a wretched run which has left them fourth-bottom in the Sky Bet Championship – just four points ahead of Wednesday.
