Key Players to Watch

Swansea: Zan Vipotnik

Slovenian striker Van Vipotnik has 13 goals in 28 games in the Championship so far this season, being one of the strongest performing centre-forwards in the division.

The 23 year-old was linked with a move away in January, but Swansea kept hold of the striker for the second half of the campaign.

Sheffield Wednesday: Jamal Lowe

Experienced winger Jamal Lowe is the man Sheffield Wednesday will look too as they look to end their dismal run in front of goal, with the Owls not scoring in nine league matches.

Our Main Prediction: Swansea 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday

With Sheffield Wednesday's recent form, its hard to look past a Swansea win in this fixture, with three points being key for them as they look to climb up the table and away from any relegation fears
