The Owls’ focus switches to the Carabao Cup this evening where they host Everton in the third round.
Wednesday defeated Rotherham 1-0 to reach this stage of the competition with Atdhe Nuhiu’s stoppage time goal the difference at the New York Stadium last month.
Everton advanced to round three after overcoming Lincoln 4-2 at Sincil Bank.
The Toffees had to come from behind after the Imps opened the scoring inside the first minute but goals from Lucas Digne, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Alex Iwobi and Richarlison saw the Premier League side go through.
Marco Silva is likely to name a strong line-up as Everton bid to bounce back from successive league defeats, that have left them 14th in the table.
