STOKE propping up the Championship table........half way through the season....
Sheffield Wednesday are our visitors, playing well under Gary Monk, third in the table.
Boxing Day = Family
Stokie Weather = Cloudy, little light rain, 7 degrees (Not bad considering some of the weather we have had to contend with this season.)
Travel = 3/4 hour each way given a clearish run on the road. (Nothing compared with distances covered by heroic long distance ST holders !)
Match facts
Stoke are winless in seven league games against Sheffield Wednesday (D4 L3) since a victory back in November 2005.
Sheffield Wednesday haven't completed a league double over Stoke since the 1952-53 campaign.
This is Stoke's first home league match on Boxing Day since 2015, when they won 2-0 against Manchester United in the Premier League.
Sheffield Wednesday have won their last five league matches on Boxing Day, and haven't conceded a goal in any of their last seven matches played on that day.
Stoke have won only once in their last six Championship matches (W1 D1 L4), losing last time out, despite taking the lead vs Middlesbrough.
Sheffield Wednesday's Barry Bannan was the match-winner for the Owls last time out, netting from the spot vs Bristol City - he hasn't scored in consecutive league games since April.
