v Norwich City (h)
It's been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for Owls fans during the past couple of weeks. Defeat at Blackpool spelt big trouble but things were much rosier a week later with a hugely important 3-1 win at Leicester.

The equation is simple now for Wednesday: Win at home to Norwich and they are safe no matter what happens elsewhere.

If they don't beat the Canaries they must match the result of Southampton or Leicester. If Wednesday draw or lose and Southampton and Leicester win, the Owls will go down.

v Sheffield Utd (h)

The Saints were minutes away from securing a famous win at West Brom in midweek, but instead had to settle for a point.

They need something from their final game at home to Sheffield Utd, and to stay up will need Wednesday or Leicester to slip up.

The Blades can do their neighbours a favour by winning this one - thus making Wednesday's game v Norwich irrelevant.

v Stoke City (a)

After having beaten Barnsley away from home Ian Holloway's side came crashing back down to earth with defeat at home to the Owls.

Leicester's stronger goal difference stands them in good stead over Southampton and victory away to Stoke will guarantee them safety. However, with the Potters chasing automatic promotion that is a huge ask and they must surely be a favourite for the drop.

v Charlton Ath (a)

It is still mathematically possible that both Blackpool and Coventry could go down on the final day, although unlikely.

For either of these clubs to go down they would have to lose their final game as see all three of Wednesday, Leicester and Southampton win.
