The Owls push for the play-offs is set to intensify in the next few weeks with the race for the play-offs witnessing the tightest points total it ever has at this stage of the season. We take a look at the teams in and around Garry Monk’s men in the table and you can decide who Wednesday should be wary of:
5. Sheffield Wednesday - 36 points
The Owls are unbeaten in their last five and host Bristol City on Sunday. On Boxing Day it is a trip to Stoke City before rounding off 2019 with home ties against Cardiff City and Hull City. Thats a lot of Cities! Photo: Steve Ellis
6. Fulham - 35 points
Manager Scott Parker will not be looking past Saturday's game with Leeds given the significance it provides i.e. points wise. Lose that then games against Luton, Stoke and Reading might not have the same edge. Photo: Jordan Mansfield
7. Bristol City - 35 points
The Robins are proving much better away from home so will be aiming to take maximum points from their next two at Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton. After that, its home games against Luton Town and Charlton Athletic. Photo: Alex Burstow
8. Nottingham Forest - 34 points
Forest, who hold one of the best away records in the division, travel to Huddersfield Town and Hull City in their two games before ending 2019 at home to Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers. Photo: Lewis Storey
