Sheffield Wednesday can extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to eight matches on Saturday when they entertain Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough.

The Owls have climbed up to 19th place in the table in recent weeks thanks to an impressive string of results that has included four wins.

Eighth-placed Forest, who are four points off a playoff spot, come into the match on the back of two successive victories.

Wednesday are understood to have no new injury problems ahead of the fixture.

Greg Halford begins a two-game ban for the visitors, while Sam Hutchinson and Daniel Ayala both recently returned to training.
