Owls to face Rams.

Last updated : 04 December 2007 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday will travel to Pride Park to face Premier League strugglers Derby County in the F.A. Cup 3rd round on Sunday 6th January, with the game being moved back a day due to police commitments to Chesterfield F.C on the Saturday.

The tie pits the Owls against former Hillsborough boss Paul Jewell who has recently taken the reigns at Derby following the departure of Billy Davies.

Wednesday will fancy their chances of taking the scalp of the top flight club who have won just one of their 15 league games to date and are rooted to the bottom of the table.

The two Championship games between the sides last season both resulted in victories for Derby, 2-1 at Hillsborough and 1-0 at Pride Park with the Rams benefiting from last-minute goals on both occasions.
