Sheffield Wednesday to travel to Premier League side in FA Cup

The Owls were drawn away at former play-off rivals Brighton and Hove Albion with the tie set to be played on the weekend of January 4 at the AMEX Stadium.

The occasion will bring back fond memories as a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the 2016 Championship play-off semi-finals at the same venue earned Wednesday their place in the final at Wembley.

The Seagulls went on to win promotion to the top flight a year later at the end of a campaign which saw them twice beat the Owls 2-1.

Brighton reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup last season, losing to eventual competition winners Manchester City.

Wednesday exited the FA Cup at the fourth round stage last season after a 3-0 defeat at Premier League giants Chelsea.
