Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Owls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 10 of the 46 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
