    Sheffield Wednesday begin life without long-serving midfielder Barry Bannan with a home game against play-off chasing Wrexham.

    The Owls, along with East Grinstead of the Isthmian League South East Division, are the only side in the top eight tiers of English football to record a home win this season.

    Wrexham will arrive in south Yorkshire having won their past three away games for the first time in the second tier.

    • Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their past four league games against Wrexham (W3 D1), although the one they did fail to win was in this season's reverse fixture (2-2 in August).

    • This will be Wrexham's first away league match at Sheffield Wednesday in two decades, since a 4-0 defeat in the third tier on 3 January 2005.

    • Sheffield Wednesday have not scored in any of their past six league matches; last going seven in a row without finding the net in December 2005, under Paul Sturrock.

    • Only Watford (24) and Coventry (16) have won more points from losing positions than Wrexham (15) in the Championship this season; three of which came in their last outing, a 3-2 win at Queens Park Rangers.

    • Since the start of the 2019-20 season, Sheffield Wednesday's win percentage without Barry Bannan in Championship games is just 18% (2/11), compared to 28% when the Scotsman does play (56/201).
