Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:

Southampton head into this fixture without a permanent boss after the sacking of Will Still. Interim boss Tonda Eckert oversaw a 2-1 away victory at Queens Park Rangers last weekend.

The Saints had lost 3 of the 4 matches prior to their visit to Loftus Road, a sequence that began with a 0-0 draw at home to Swansea City.

After that, Bristol City ran out 3-1 winners at Ashton Gate despite Adam Armstrong giving Southampton a 30th minute lead.

Blackburn Rovers were the next side to get the better of the Saints, after Southampton had again taken the lead.

A third defeat in a row followed, this time on home soil to Preston North End. Lewis Dobbin and Mads Frøkjær-Jensen got the goals for North End.

The win at Loftus Road was the first in the league since the end of September saw the Saints move onto 15 points.

Southampton occupy 19th in the Championship with just 3 wins to their name this season.

Adam Armstrong leads the way with 3 goals and Ryan Fraser and Finn Azaz have both contributed 2 assists.

Southampton have conceded 20 goals at an average of 1.4 per game and have kept just 2 clean sheets.

Sheffield Wednesday are 17 points adrift of safety after their 12 point deduction.

The Owls have won just 1 game all season and are on a run of 3 defeats in their last 5, although they have drawn the last 2.

That sequence began with a 2-1 lost at Charlton Athletic, with Jamal Lowe’s goal nothing more than a consolation.

An early Morgan Whittaker strike was enough for Middlesbrough to take all 3 points from Hillsborough in Wednesday’s next match.

Another home defeat followed at the hands of Oxford United, going down 2-1 with Sean Fusire grabbing the goal for the Owls.

A 0-0 draw at West Bromwich Albion ended up a run of 4 straight defeats and was followed by a 1-1 home draw with Norwich City in midweek.

Barry Bannan scored early to give Wednesday the lead but Mathias Kvistgaarden rescued a point for Norwich.

The Owls have scored 11 goals with Wednesday legend Barry Bannan leads the scoring charts with 3 and is the leading assist maker with 2.

 Pedersen’s side have conceded 26 goals at an average of 1.9 per game, keeping just 2 clean sheets.

The last 5 meetings between these sides have produced 4 wins for Southampton.

The Saints completed the double over their Yorkshire rivals during the 2023-24 campaign in their way to promotion.

A late Che Adams goal sealed 3 points for Southampton at Hillsborough in August 2023.

The return fixture was a more comfortable affair for Southampton who ran out 4-0 winners. Che Adams, Adam Armstrong, Ryan Fraser and Sékou Mara were all on the scoresheet.

The pair met in the EFL Cup in 2022, with the game ending 1-1 but the Saints winning on penalties.

In the last 5 meetings, Southampton have scored 11 goals and Sheffield Wednesday have scored just 2.

Sheffield Wednesday have not beaten their opponents since April 2009.
