THE MATCH
It's the Owls v Coventry once again but this time in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup.
The Sky Blues inflicted a 2-1 defeat against Wednesday last weekend at Hillsborough in the Championship.
Captain Ben Sheaf struck twice in S6 while Josh Windass fired home what proved to be just a consolation.
En route to this stage of the competition Coventry beat Oxford 6-2 at the CBS Arena, while the Owls put four goals past Cardiff without reply on home soil.
TEAM NEWS
Wednesday: The big news from Danny Röhl’s press conference was young goalkeeper Pierce Charles about to make his senior debut.
Cameron Dawson has been ruled out after picking up an injury during the week and James Beadle, on loan from Brighton, is cup-tied meaning a call-up for Charles.
The manager may opt to freshen up his side with a busy Championship schedule on the horizon.
The likes of Gui Siqueira and Sam Reed could be involved in the matchday squad.
Iké Ugbo will be pushing for his first start since his loan switch to S6.
