Sheffield Wednesday will host Burnley at Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side are enjoying a good run of results and find themselves 15th in the league standings with 11 points as they continue their push for survival.
They picked up a hard-fought 2-1 comeback win over Coventry City in their last match, with Djeidi Gassama and Southampton loanee Shea Charles getting on the scoresheet late in either half to help the Owls secure their first away win at Coventry since 1995.
Burnley have enjoyed a strong start to their season and are well on course for promotion. They were, however, held to a goalless draw by Preston North End in their game before the international break and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.
The Clarets sit third in the league table with 18 points from nine games. They are just one point above leaders Sunderland and could leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
