Tuesday night cup action pits Sheffield Wednesday against Fleetwood Town.
A 1-1 draw in the original fourth round clash between these two sides finished in a 1-1 draw, leading to tonight’s replay at Highbury Stadium.
Town had taken an early second half lead at Hillsborough through a Promise Omochere strike, but an own goal courtesy of Josh Early sealed a draw for the Owls.
It has come as a disappointment to Darren Moore’s side to have to add further to a dense fixture list at this time, with Wednesday currently battling for promotion from League One.
But this clash also represents a big opportunity to make the fifth round of the famous cup competition, with tonight’s winner set to face the winner of Ipswich Town’s replay with Burnley which also takes place this evening.
Here is the lineup that Moore should start for tonight’s FA Cup replay clash…
Callum Paterson bagged the winning goal last weekend in a huge top of the table clash with Plymouth Argyle.
But a hamstring injury is set to keep him out of tonight’s clash, with Jack Hunt his likely replacement at right wing-back.
Barry Bannan returned to action for the Owls at the weekend, and he is set to feature again with the captain such a crucial player in the side.
The front line of Josh Windass and Michael Smith will lead the line again, with the pair striking a prolific partnership this season.

True False
George Byers and Will Vaulks will retain their place in the team from Saturday’s win, with Marvin Johnson on the left flank.
Cameron Dawson has been kept in the side for cup games, so that should remain unchanged.
The back three could see some differences, as Moore considers rotation ahead of the league fixture against Ipswich Town this coming weekend.
Akin Famewo may be reinserted back into the side in place of Aden Flint to keep the same backline as the reverse fixture, with Dominic Iorfa and Liam Palmer completing the lineup.
