Swansea finished the weekend inside the top four in the Championship after picking up a narrow home win over Rotherham.
Can they build on that as they play host to the troubled Sheffield Wednesday?
The Owls are still trying to shrug off a 6-point deficit that they started the season with. They come back into action after a loss to Preston on the weekend.

Swansea Preview – Can Swansea make it back to back wins?
Swansea earned a 1-0 home win over Rotherham on the weekend to lift themselves into fourth place.
The Welsh club have only lost one or their last six games (W3 D2) so they are in pretty good shape at the moment.
The stand-out aspect of their season has been how tight they have been at the back.
It has been just seven goals that the Swans have conceded in their 12 league fixtures of this campaign.
They are going into this fixture as the 10/11 favorites in the match outright* (odds taken 18:32 GMT on Tuesday, 24th November).
On home turf the Swans have taken a W4 D1 L1 record this season and they haven’t given up a goal in any of their last three on home turf.
So for our football betting, it may be worth pushing things further to a Swansea To Win Nil option at 2/1* (odds taken 18:32 GMT on Tuesday, 24th November).
At the Liberty Stadium for this campaign, Swansea have conceded just the three goals, so they do look a solid enough option to pull that off.
It is worth a look at the head to head as well.
Swansea are on a three match winning streak at home against Sheffield Wednesday, unbeaten in four such fixtures.
So they have a lot of positives on their side here. Only Bournemouth and Watford have better home records in this season’s Championship then Swansea.
On Middlesbrough have earned a better defensive record.
Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Can the Owls avoid defeat?
It has been a tough season for Sheffield Wednesday but they are grinding away bit by bit.
They have earned a W3 D3 L6 record this season which would be enough to see them positioned outside of the relegation zone at the moment.
But they started the season with a six-point penalty, so still have ground to make up.
On the weekend the Owls suffered a 1-0 loss at Preston, a result which saw them miss out on a three-match unbeaten streak.
It is their away form which looks to be their biggest problem at the moment.
The Owls have lost their last three games on the road without having hit the back of the net once in any of those.
That raises another fairly big issue with them. In their last six league games, the Owls have scored just one goal.
They will head down to South Wales on Wednesday night as the 5/1 underdogs for the contest* (odds taken 18:32 GMT on Tuesday, 24th November).

Sheffield Wednesday have earned a W2 L4 record out on their travels this season only and have dropped their last three.
But interestingly their defence has not been horrendous really. Just once in their last six games home and away combined, have they conceded more than one goal in a game.
So they are likely to keep things tight and keep this as a low scoring game.
Under 2.5 goals is a football betting option of 8/13* (odds taken 18:32 GMT on Tuesday, 24th November).
Swansea vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Advice
With the Owls not firing in front of goal we have to assume that this is going to end up as a home win.
They have lost their last three on the road without finding the net and they are facing one of the best defences in the league here.
So we expect the visitors to come up short. Swansea to win to nil at 2/1 is a great option therefore* (odds taken 18:32 GMT on Tuesday, 24th November).
Key Facts – Swansea vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tip

We just can’t see the visitors doing enough up front to break an excellent defence. So it’s Swansea all the way for us.
