History of the Plymouth Argyle v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Plymouth Arg. prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 15 previous games, with the Pilgrims winning just 4.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Home Park was just last season, in August 2006, with Sheff. Wed. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Pilgrims in a Championship match.
