The Owls were victorious down in the capital last weekend, beating play-off hopefuls QPR 2-0 thanks to goals from Michael Smith and Callum Paterson. As for the Hatters, they lost to Millwall in the lunch time kick-off and remain winless under new manager Matt Bloomfield.
Following last weekend's results, as well as Millwall's win against Portsmouth on Tuesday night, the table has Wednesday in 10th and Luton in 23rd. Danny Rohl's men are three points off the play-offs but Middlesbrough possess a vastly superior goal difference.
As for Luton, it's tight at the bottom with three points separating them and Pompey, but they'd need to have a three-goal swing to overtake them with a win. It's a possibility that even with a win, they might not move out of the relegation zone this weekend.

Shea Charles returning on loan is the only bit of business Wednesday have really done this month whereas Luton have been busy. The cheque book has been out and this week they recruited Thelo Aasgaard from Wigan Athletic for a fee in the region of £3.5m.
