The Owls will be looking to leverage their home advantage to secure a victory this Friday. No doubt manager, Danny Röhl will have prepared a strategic approach to exploit Coventry City's weaknesses in defense, giving Josh Windass the freedom to roam. 

On the other side, Coventry City, known for their resilience and attacking prowess, will enter the game looking to make it to the fifth round of the FA Cup after failing to proceed in their last five attempts. The Sky Blues, who are currently sixth in the Championship,  could make it five straight wins in a row in all competitions. 

Coventry boss Mark Robin will need to striker Matt Godden to be on form and ready to add to his already impressive nine-goal season. Can they make through to the final 16?
