— Sheffield Wednesday (@swfc) January 6, 2023
Sheffield Wednesday began their FA Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Morecambe at the beginning of November, before defeating fourth-tier side Mansfield Town 2-1 to book a meeting with Premier League outfit Newcastle United in the third round match. The Owls have been in stunning form of late, having won each of their last three games. Last time out, Darren Moore’s side netted five times against Cambridge United without reply, courtesy of a hat-trick by Josh Windass and Michael Smith’s double.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are undefeated in their last 15 competitive games across all competitions and that includes 10 victories. Their impressive run has been largely due to a solid defence, which has conceded just 11 goals in 18 Premier League games, fewer than any other team in the English top tier. The Magpies resumed competitive action following the World cup break, with a 1-0 home win over Bournemouth to enter the EFL Cup last eight stage, before thrashing Leicester 3-0 on the boxing Day, courtesy of goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton. Then back-to-back goalless draws to Leeds United and Arsenal.
Sheffield Wednesday possible line-up: Dawson, Palmer, McGuinness, James, Mighten, Byers, Vaulks, dele-Bashiru, Johnson, Windass, Smith
Newcastle United possible line-up: Dubravka, Manquillo, Burn, Lascelles, Lewis, Langstaff, Anderson, Willock, Murphy, Wood, Saint-Maximin
