Bradford City pack their bags to visit Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bantams will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 9 and win only 3 of the 17 games.
The previous match played between the two at Hillsborough was within the last three years, in October 2002, the The Owls carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division One match.
