Wanderers are quickly back at the University of Bolton Stadium as they take on the high-flying Owls.
Ian Evatt’s men hit back to earn a point against Portsmouth on Tuesday night thanks to a Kieran Sadlier spot-kick.
The Whites have injury concerns to overcome but will be looking to turn one point into three after drawing two of their last three games at home, where they have lost just once in nine games.
While Wanderers pursue a top-10 finish, fifth-placed Wednesday are hoping to make it a hat-trick of wins to tie down a play-off spot as they look to bounce straight back to the Championship.
Quotes from the managers:
Ian Evatt: “No club has any entitlement to get promoted. They’ll be trying to get into the top six but so are a lot of clubs.
“Darren (Moore) is a wonderful man and he has them really well coached. It’ll be a real challenge but one we’re looking forward to.
“They’re flying high but we’ll do the best we can and whatever team we put out I expect us to be competitive. We’ve only lost three times since mid-January and I think that’s exceptional, really.”
Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore: "We are very proud of our home form but we have to look to improve away to keep our momentum going.
"It will be a good game tomorrow. Bolton play some wonderful attacking football and they will come at us. We have done our work and we must be ready to stand up and be counted."
Team news:
Wanderers have been hit hard by injury problems with captain Ricardo Almeida Santos, midfielder Kyle Dempsey and top scorer Dapo Afolayan all ruled out with hamstring injuries picked up in mid-week.

Wednesday are still without former Accrintgton, Wigan and Rangers forward Josh Windass.
