Sheffield Wednesday and Mansfield Town will square off at the Hillsborough Stadium in round two of the FA Cup on Saturday (November 26).
The Owls are unbeaten in seven games across competitions and will look to continue their fine run.
Sheffield made it three wins on the trot in League One when they edged out Shrewsbury Town 1-0 at the weekend. They have now won four of their last five games across competitions, with a penalty shoot-out defeat against Southampton in the EFL Cup on November 9 being the exception.
Sheffield will now turn their attention to the FA Cup, where they opened their campaign with a 2-0 home win over Morecambe three weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Mansfield were sent crashing down to earth in League Two, as they were beaten 3-0 by Harrogate Town last time out. Before that, Nigel Clough’s men secured a 1-0 victory at Rochdale on November 12, which snapped their four-game winless run in the league.
Mansfield will look to return to winning ways in the FA Cup, where they claimed a 1-0 first round win over Barrow on November 5.
