Sheffield Wednesday play host to Barnsley this afternoon in a big South Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough.

The Owls were beaten 2-1 the last time the Tykes came to town, however that was the only defeat they’d suffered at the hands of their local rivals since the start of 2010 – they’ve got a pretty good record, you could say.

Wednesday’s home form has been exceptional of late as they look to power their way up the League One table, and a victory this afternoon – if other results go their way – could see them sitting pretty at the top of the league by the time the weekend is done.

Wednesday have lost to Barnsley just once since 2010, however that defeat did come in their last visit to Hillsborough in 2020. And they’ll be desperate to get back to winning ways this time around.
