This is the first league meeting between Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City since April 2014. The Foxes won 2-1 at the King Power that day on their way to winning promotion to the Premier League.

Leicester’s last league visit to Sheffield Wednesday was in December 2013, losing 2-1 despite taking the lead. It was one of only six league defeats the Foxes suffered in 2013-14.

Sheffield Wednesday have lost five of their eight home league games this season (W1 D2), losing 4-0 to Millwall last time at Hillsborough, their heaviest home league defeat since losing 5-0 to Blackburn in January 2020.

Leicester City have won seven of their eight away league games this season, but did lose 1-0 to Middlesbrough last time on the road. They last suffered consecutive away league defeats in April, losing against Crystal Palace and Man City in the Premier League.

Sheffield Wednesday have only scored four goals in eight home league games this season. It’s only the third time they’ve scored four or fewer goals at this stage of a season at home, along with 2014-15 (3) and 2020-21 (4).
