Sheffield Wednesday prepare to entertain Yeovil Town at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Owls have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was just last season, in January 2011, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.
