How did they get there?

Parachuted into the competition at the third round, Wednesday saw off their Luton Town counterparts in a dramatic 3-2 win at Kenilworth Road back in mid-December.

A brace from striker Alex Bonnington and one for Toby Kenyon were enough to see the Owls come from behind to book their place in the fourth round.

Are tickets still available?

All tickets will be available on the gate at the i2i Stadium. Admission is £3 for adults and £1 for children.
