Swansea will take on Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, 8 February, in a match of far more significance for the hosts than the visitors.
While Sheffield Wednesday's fate has been sealed for many months now, Swansea are still stuck in limbo in the middle portion of the league table. On one hand, they are eight points behind the top six, but on the other, they are just seven points above the relegation zone.

Most recent H2Hs: Honours even
We shouldn't read too much into the recent H2H record, as the current version of Sheffield Wednesday is a far cry from those that have come before. For what it's worth, though, there is nothing to split the two teams over their last four meetings.

Swansea preview: Trio ruled out
Swansea are without three key players for this one, with Adam Idah, Zeidane Inoussa and Meiker Widell sidelined due to injuries. As these three also missed the victory over Watford, there is no reason for manager Vitor Matos to change anything on Sunday.
Predicted lineup: Vigouroux (GK), Ward, Cabango, Burgess, Tymon, Stamenic, Pereira, Franco, Fulton, Eom, Vipotnik
Last five results
- Watford 0-2 Swansea
- Hull 2-1 Swansea

Sheffield Wednesday preview: Going through the motions
This point of the season is very much just a case of muddling through for Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls are missing some key personnel that may have otherwise helped this weekend, with Nathaniel Chalobah, Di'shon Berndard and Dominic Iorfa all injured.
Predicted lineup: Cooper (GK), Palmer, Otegbayo, Cooper, Valery, Heskey, Ingelsson, Johnson, McNeill, Lowe, Yates
Last five results
- Blackburn 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday

Player to watch: Zan Vipotnik
After a quiet first season at Swansea, Zan Vipotnik has exploded into life this campaign and is on course to finish the season as the division's top scorer. That status will naturally make him a target for other clubs, but it could be wise for the 23-year-old to stay in South Wales for at least one more season.
