- After a run of eight straight league victories over Norwich between 2005 and 2009, the Owls are since winless in their most recent three (D2 L1).
- Norwich's last league win at Hillsborough dates back to December 2001, having drawn two and lost four of their six trips in league competition since.
- The Owls lost their last home league game to Brentford - they have never lost back to back home league games under Carlos Carvalhal; they last did so in April 2014 under Stuart Gray.
- Despite this, the Owls have won six of their last eight league matches at Hillsborough (D1 L1).
- Only Birmingham (16) have conceded more headed goals than Norwich in the Championship this season (15)

Hey up you lot. I've managed to get a Sheffield Wednesday discord sevrer going so if any of you want to play games with any other Wednesday fans, come on down to our discord and you can meet others like yourslef. Iv've even got a tiktok going if you want to spare a min to check that out called thewednesdaylounge
I noticed last night at Hillsborough that Sheffield Wednesday are now using Mantra when the players enter the pitch. Interestingly, as far as I'm aware, none of the band actually support them?
