Sheffield Wednesday will aim to finish a difficult year at Hillsborough on a high as they entertain in-form Hull City on Friday (15:00 GMT).
The Owls' only win came on the road in September and they have not kept a clean sheet at home since December 2024.
They have picked up just two points from 11 games at Hillsborough this season to remain rock-bottom on -9 points, effectively 31 short of safety with 25 games remaining, such is their inferior goal difference.
The Tigers have won their past three games to climb to fourth, five points adrift of the automatic promotion places and with a three point lead over the play-off chasing pack.
