Stoke City pack their bags to visit Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Potters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 9 of the 42 games.
The previous match played between the two at Hillsborough was more than three years back, in August 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
