The Latics and Sheffield Wednesday don’t share much history having only met on four occasions, five if you count the abandoned game back in December 2013, two of those games were in the FA cup, once in December 1975 at Hillsborough, Wednesday won that encounter 2-0, the other occasion was two years later, December 1977 when a Maurice Whittle free kick gave non-league Latics a 1-0 win over Jack Charlton’s Owls.
Latics 3 wins, Wednesday 1, draws 0
We won in Sheffield the last time we were there, back on the 11th February 3-0, with a Nicky Maynard brace and a goal from Marc-Antoine Fortune
