Sheffield Wednesday are back on home soil this afternoon with Lincoln City the visitors to Hillsborough. The Owls garnered just a solitary point from successive away trips to Barnsley, Forest Green and Cheltenham. Those slip-ups cost them the chance to go top and the heat is on to rediscover their best form with just eight games of the season remaining. The first of those sees mid-table Lincoln arrive in S6 today and Darren Moore's side will be eager to pick up a first win in five. Incidentally, three points today would see the Owls go back top of League One owing to leaders Plymouth not being in league action.
