Stoke City face a trip to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Tuesday evening, 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 10 of the 43 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Championship match.
