The presence of former Owls manager Steve Bruce in the home dugout only added to the feeling a real banana skin of a tie lied in wait for Danny Rohl’s men when they made the trip to their League One opponents. Despite suffering some nervy moments, Wednesday added Blackpool to Hull City and Grimsby Town on their list of conquests in this season’s Carabao Cup as they set aside their poor league form to claim a win at Bloomfield Road.

A first-half goal from defender Di’Shon Bernard was enough to secure a win and avoid what would have been a major upset against the Tangerines. All eyes now move on to the draw for the last 16 of the competition, where some intriguing ties could lie in wait for Rohl and his players. The Star takes a look at all of the information needed for Wednesday supporters as the Owls wait to discover their fourth round opponents.
