Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Owls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 10 of the 45 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
