Sheffield Wednesday vs Fleetwood Town live stream: match preview

Sheffield Wednesday welcome fellow League One club Fleetwood Town to Hillsborough for this huge FA Cup fourth-round tie. The Owls have won all four previous meetings with the Cod Army – can they make it five from five today?

Sheffield Wednesday became just the second team to beat Newcastle this season when they saw off the Premier League side in the last round. Josh Windass, whose father Dean made two appearances for the Owls on loan back in 2001, scored two second-half goals to put his team in the driving seat. Bruno Guimaraes pulled one back for Newcastle with just over 20 minutes left to play, but the home side held on for a famous Hillsborough victory.

Wednesday's last league game was against Fleetwood, and Owls boss Darren Moore has made two changes, with Mallik Wilks and Callum Paterson coming in for Michael Smith and Lee Gregory, who both drop to the bench.

Fleetwood also eliminated a team from further up the league ladder in the last round, coming from behind to beat Queens Park Rangers. Sam Field gave the Championship side the lead towards the end of the first half, but it only lasted three minutes, with Toto Nsiala ensuring they went in level at the break. Promise Omochere sent his side to the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time ever when he scored Fleetwood's second. Can they go one step further here?

Shaun Rooney returns to the Fleetwood Town starting XI today, while Paddy Lane comes in for the excellently named Admiral Muskwe. Danny Andrew and Cian Hayes also start.
