Wednesday and Coventry City are no strangers these days having played each other plenty of times over the last couple of years - including twice in this tournament last season - but there has also been a change at the top since their last meeting in October when Mark Robins was in charge for a 2-1 Owls win.
Frank Lampard is now Röhl’s opposite number as they return to the CBS Arena once again, and while the Sky Blues look to try and turn around a rough run of form, the German may well some make changes in order to rest some of his players - even if he has suggested that he’ll still ‘go strong’ this weekend.
With that in mind, things could look a bit different on Saturday afternoon, and this is how we think Wednesday might line up:
![It's the FA Cup rather than the Carabao Cup, and with no midweek game to be concerned about - and Röhl's comments about 'going strong' - you'd expect Beadle to start.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/09/14/13/50/James-Beadle-UGC.png?trim=0,0,0,0&crop=&width=800)
