Preview | Swansea City v Sheffield Wednesday
Swansea City will look to build on a morale-boosting weekend win at Bristol City when they host Sheffield Wednesday at the Swansea.com Stadium this evening (7.45pm).
Luke Williams' side picked up a first victory of 2025 at Ashton Gate, and now face an Owls side sitting just three points outside the play-off places.
The two sides played out a goalless draw at Hillsborough earlier in the season.
Team news
Harry Darling returns from suspension for the Swans, having served his three-match ban following his red card against Sheffield United.
Kristian Pedersen and Joe Allen are the only injury absentees for the Swans.
The visitors are without skipper Barry Bannan and Di'Shon Bernard through injuries suffered in the Owls' last two fixtures, while Dominic Iorfa and Akin Famewo are not yet fit enough to return from their respective absences.
Pre-match views
Luke Williams: "I hope this win (over Bristol City) can prove to be the bedrock for us to have a more enjoyable end to the season.
"We showed so much fight. We fought for ourselves as a team and for our supporters and we got the rewards.
"We would have liked to have shown more quality on the ball at times, but we were still able to create good chances.
"I really hope we can go and back this up back on home turf and make people feel more positive about the team and the club."
Danny Röhl: "The next game comes up quick and we have to be ready to carry on.
"We have to step up and we will do it all together.
"It was a setback at West Brom, but a small one, this is football. You have to stick together and be ready to go again."

Remember the last time?
Swansea City claimed their first Championship win of the season as goals from Jamal Lowe, Jerry Yates and Charlie Patino secured victory when Sheffield Wednesday last visited the Swansea.com Stadium.
Lowe had given the hosts the half-time lead from the penalty spot, after Josh Ginnelly had been fouled in the area.
Substitute Yates scored his third goal of the season just past the hour mark to double the advantage, before Patino finished off a sweeping attack to find the net for the first time in Swansea colours.
