Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping to continue their upturn in form from the Christmas period when they take on Exeter City in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

The Owls have moved out of the Championship relegation zone after winning three of their last four games – a mini-revival which includes securing back-to-back victories for the first time in over a year.
