Xisco Munoz is still searching for his maiden Championship win after taking the reins at Hillsborough with just one point garnered from five matches so far
Following a two-week break for foreign travel, Sheffield Wednesday will resume play this weekend. Prior to the break, the Owls earned their first point of the year at Leeds United with a significantly improved performance.
After four losses in a row, Xisco Munoz’s team eventually won after a scoreless draw at Elland Road. They will encounter a familiar side this weekend. Last season, Ipswich Town narrowly edged out the Owls for the second automatic promotion slot. Wednesday, of course, joined them later with a historic Wembley promotion.
They reunite for the first time this weekend and here is all you need to know ahead of the game.

The match takes place at Hillsborough – Wednesday’s first home game in the league for four weeks – on Saturday at 3pm.
