Sheff Wed prepare to entertain Grimsby Town at Hillsborough on Saturday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 18 of the 23 contests.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in April 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
