The managers G. Monk and L. Johnson are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Championship league table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City.

The story so far in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday at their home stadium (Hillsborough Stadium) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Sheffield Wednesday after consecutive victories at their own ground.
