Owls get plum home draw

Last updated : 23 September 2015 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday’s reward for their 3rd round victory at Newcastle United in the League Cup is a home draw against Arsenal.

Wednesday will host the Premier League giants at Hillsborough during the week commencing 26th October.

The Owls have some not so favourable memories of cup encounters with the Gunners having lost both the F.A. Cup and League Cup finals to the Londoners in 1993. Arsenal were also the opponents when Paolo Di Canio infamously pushed over referee Paul Alcock at Hillsborough after being sent off for a scuffle with Martin Keown in 1998.
