Sheffield Wednesday, Recent FormSheffield Wednesday boss Xisco Muñoz will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Swansea City. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Swansea City's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to Muñoz where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 8 in the same period. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
A win for Sheffield Wednesday is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Sunderland, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Cardiff City will have left the Sunderland squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 66 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 7 shots on goal.
Their boss Tony Mowbray has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Jack Clarke has scored 5 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Sheffield Wednesday.
After a good 5-0 win for Sunderland in this pair's last league encounter, Sheffield Wednesday will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Playing at home, Wednesday have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Sunderland.
Wednesday manager Xisco Muñoz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mohamed Diaby (Leg), Mallik Wilks (Muscle) and Josh Windass (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
