Sheffield Wednesday will be eager to claim their first win of the year when they host Brentford at Hillsborough Stadium tomorrow night in the FA Cup third round.
The Owls have had a tough run this season, having only won one of their last nineteen matches in all competitions.
Sheffield Wednesday last tasted victory in the Championship at Fratton Park against Portsmouth in September last year.
Last season was difficult for Henrik Peterson and his side, with the club entering administration in October 2025, resulting in an 18-point deduction for financial issues.
The Owls currently sit at the bottom of the Championship table and face the threat of relegation to League One if they don’t turn their season around.
Sheffield Wednesday will bid to avenge a penalty shootout defeat to Brentford, which ended last season’s EFL Cup run in the fourth round.
Henrik Pederson will be without Guilherme Siqueira (Achilles Tendon) and Olaf Kobacki (Groin) due to injury.
Meanwhile, Brentford have won four of their last five matches, recording victories against Everton, Sunderland, Bournemouth, and Wolverhampton Wanderers. After a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in December’s EFL Cup quarter-final, they have yet to taste defeat.
They enter the clash against Sheffield Wednesday on the back of a 3-0 win over Sunderland on Wednesday evening and currently sit fifth in the Premier League table.
Brentford have lost each of their last three FA Cup third-round matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle last season, who were bottom of the Championship at the time.
The last time the Bees faced Sheffield Wednesday away was in October 2020, and they have never won at Hillsborough Stadium in any competition. Brentford sit in fifth place in the Premier League table on level points with Liverpool who sit fourth.
Keith Andrews will be without Josh Da Silva (knee), Antoni Milambo (cruciate ligament tear), and Fabio Carvalho (cruciate ligament tear) due to injury.
he match kicks off at 3pm and will not be broadcast on television.
