Cardiff City travel to take on Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 4 of the 24 games.
The last time the two teams met at Sheff. Wed. was amazingly over twenty years ago, in December 1983, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5 - 2 thriller, in a Second Division match.
