Promotion-chasing Leeds United make the trip to Hillsborough to take on relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday in the Friday night action in the Championship.
The hosts' form has improved drastically in recent weeks, as they have won four straight league games to move within two points of 16th-placed Plymouth Argyle. They faced the Pilgrims at home in the midweek clash on Tuesday, recording a 1-0 victory courtesy of Djeidi Gassama's 60th-minute strike.
The Whites, meanwhile, were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town over the weekend and returned to winning ways on Tuesday night, with a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Stoke City. They remain in third place in the league table after that win, trailing league leaders Leicester City by five points and two behind second-placed Ipswich Town.
