History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Wolves prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wolves are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 9 of the 52 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Molineux was less than a year ago, in March 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Championship match.
