Owls get home cup draw

Last updated : 07 December 2015 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday will play at home in the 3rd round of the F.A. Cup after drawing fellow Championship side Fulham on Monday evening.

The Owls have already beaten Fulham 3-2 in an entertaining encounter at S6 earlier this season and home advantage will more than likely make them favourites to progress.

The tie will be played on the weekend of the 9th January.

Elsewhere in the draw Wednesday’s near neighbours, League One side Sheffield United will travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United. Non-league Whitehawk have the prospect of a dream trip to Premier League Everton if they can overcome Dagenham & Redbridge in a 2nd round replay.
