The Owls make the trip down to the West Midlands for a league match in what is a disrupted schedule. Both clubs were knocked out of the FA Cup in mid-January, so the match takes place as originally scheduled but there are only five matches in the league going ahead this weekend.
Norwich City and Bristol City who are just above Sheffield Wednesday on goal difference are both in action so it's not a direct opportunity to overtake them. The Canaries are in action against Derby County whilst Bristol City face their Severnside rivals Swansea City on Sunday.
A win along with results going in their favour could see them overtake the Baggies who occupy the fourth and final play-off spot. They would go level on points with Blackburn Rovers but their goal difference of minus three would go against them.
The stats pack says that West Brom have won three of their last four league matches against them with their only blemish being a draw. Wednesday though have won each of their last two league games against the Baggies. Their home form is pretty decent, having lost just once in their last 15 home games in front of their own supporters with WBA currently on a 10-game unbeaten run at the Hawthorns.
In the build-up to the game, Wednesday finally confirmed the signing of Ryo Hatsuse. The Japan international has been on trial with the club for the last few weeks and joined as a free agent.
Hatsuse was one of three new arrivals during the winter transfer window with Stuart Armstrong and Ibrahim Cissoko arriving in January. Cissoko spent the first part of the season with Plymouth Argyle and is in line for his debut after Toulouse decided to loan him out elsewhere. Here’s the latest injury and team news from both camps prior to the game.

6. Dominic Iorfa (Sheffield Wednesday) - out (continued)
Danny Rohl said: "For Dom it’s a shame - he will be out for eight weeks - a long, long time. "It’s a big muscle injury… It’s not nice, but it’s what it is, and we cannot change it now. "We’ll try and get him back as soon as possible, but when it’s such a big injury it takes time. "We know that Dom will need time also to get into a rhythm - we’ll see what it means for the season." | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
