Sheffield They will play the FA Cup rerun on Wednesday against Coventry City the following week in an attempt to secure a berth in the following round.
After Djeidi Gassama’s late goal at Hillsborough last week erased Victor Torp’s opening goal, the two teams were unable to split the points, and now they will play their fourth match of the season to determine who advances to the fifth round.
The next round’s opponent is Maidstone United, the cup’s unexpected gem this year. The Owls and Sky Blues will be keen to schedule a meeting with George Elokobi’s team as a trip to the quarterfinals appears more and more likely.
It has now been confirmed that the two sides will face off at the CBS Arena on Tuesday, February 6th, at 7:45 p.m. in the West Midlands.
The Owls haven’t won on the road against Coventry since 1995, when they were defeated 2-0 in their most recent visit, which took place a little more than a month ago. Guy Whittingham scored the game’s winning goal that day.
The winner will get £120,000 in prize money in addition to the opportunity to add more money to the pot in the fifth round, a match that is almost guaranteed to be chosen for television coverage given their opponents’ outstanding performance thus far in the competition.
