Sheffield Wednesday v Blackpool tips – Tangerines looking for cup revenge

Sheffield Wednesday face Blackpool for a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup

Wednesday ignored the fact that they were playing a side riding high in the Championship when they earned a share of the spoils in the first match to bring the Seasiders back to Hillsborough.

Indeed it looked as though they would down Ian Holloway’s men until Kevin Phillips scored a stoppage-time penalty to prolong the tie.

The Owls will be confident of causing an upset on Tuesday as they are second in League One at present and look set for as return to the second tier of English football next season.

However, Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Yeovil was only their second league win in five attempts and they appear to be stuttering towards the end-of-season run-in.

The FA Cup could prove a welcome distraction with a high-profile clash with Premier League side Everton up next for the winners of this match.

The Tangerines are in decent form themselves, with three wins and two draws in their last five matches in all competitions.

Back-to-back league wins have propelled them into fourth place in the Championship standings and it remains to be seen what sort of side Holloway puts out in South Yorkshire, with promotion clearly the number one priority this term.

He made eight changes for the first encounter with Gary Megson’s men and there seems no reason to suggest that he will do anything different this week.

With Wednesday also unlikely to field a first-choice starting XI it is difficult to call this one but home advantage might just tip it in the Owls’ favour.

Betfred Match prices: Wednesday 6/4, Blackpool 17/10, draw 12/5
