Sheffield Wednesday take on Nottingham Forest this weekend at Hillsborough, though whether the fixture actually goes ahead remains to be seen.
Both sides need to get a win from this one.
Wednesday just need to get points on the board to secure a mid-table finish and bounce back from a mauling at Brentford.
Forest, meanwhile, need to get three points to keep their play-off challenge on the right path and to also bounce back from a heavy defeat – at the hands of Millwall.
However, it has been confirmed earlier today that Forest’s owner Evangelos Marinakis has contracted Coronavirus and, with the Greek meeting the Forest squad last Friday night, concerns are growing over the potential health of some going into the game.
Could we see some kind of measure come in for the match at the weekend? That remains to be seen but many Owls fans on Twitter are joking that it might lead to them getting a point.
Let’s see that now:
Hearing that Forests owner has Corona virus. While we wish him a speedy recovery, can we insist that this weekends game goes ahead – as if the Forest players self isolate there is an outside chance we could push for a 0-0 and a much needed point #swfc

Think the EFL should call our game off with Forest on Saturday. At least that way we won’t lose and I won’t be in a mardy for the rest of the weekend ☺️😂 #swfc https://t.co/Hmi8F6I7cF

Even if he's passed it on to half of the Forest squad they're still probably going to batter us on Saturday #swfc https://t.co/OnBY6rGpJs
