Fleetwood Town was on course to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup after Promise Omochere’s 52nd-minute strike at Hillsborough, but they failed to see the job through.

Josh Earl scored an unfortunate own goal midway through the second half, and neither side managed to find a winner.

The Fishermen saw just 31% of the ball in the previous meeting, with Sheffield Wednesday dominating large spells of the game.

But Wednesday managed a solitary attempt on target throughout their clash despite racking up 15 shots.

Wednesday is on an unbeaten run of 14 games across all competitions, and they have only lost three league matches this season.

The Owls also boast the best defensive record in League One, having conceded just 18 goals so far this campaign, and they extended their unbeaten streak to six games with a 1-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

When you look at the bigger picture, Darren Moore’s side has avoided defeat in their last 16 League One outing.

Fleetwood Town vs. Sheffield Wednesday Head to head

Both sides have five games against each other with hosts winless while visitors with four wins.

Fleetwood will be without long-term injury absentee Darnell Johnson on Tuesday, meaning Aristote Nsiala and Corrie Ndaba should occupy the center-back positions. Josh Vela was sent off in Saturday’s defeat to Burton, so Lewis Warrington is expected to feature in central midfield for the hosts.
