Cardiff City face a trip to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, 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 5 of the 25 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Championship match.
