Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan Athletic shared a goalless draw in League One on 12 September, an evenly balanced contest in which both teams struck the woodwork and both goalkeepers were called into saves.
Wednesday came into the game on a run of three straight league wins, having beaten Bromley 7-2, Wycombe Wanderers 2-1 and Peterborough United 2-1. Wigan, beaten 4-0 by Stockport County a week earlier, had beaten MK Dons 3-1 three days before that.
