Sheffield Wednesday v Fleetwood Town LIVE: Goalless at Hillsborough as Owls target FA Cup progress
It may feel like Groundhog Day as for the second week running Sheffield Wednesday welcome Fleetwood Town to Hillsborough.
This time last week the two met in a League One clash which saw the hosts seal three vital points in the promotion push, thanks to Marvin Johnson's early goal. Today the prize up for grabs is a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Bizarrely, this is the third meeting between the two teams in just over a month - they met at Fleetwood on Boxing Day and if today's clash ends all-square there will be a fourth meeting by way of a replay!
Stay tuned to our blog throughout the day for regular updates from S6, with no need to refresh the page.

Goalless in the FA Cup tie at Hillsborough. Not a classic by any stretch.
15:49Ricky Charlesworth
Palmer dashes into the box and tries to pick out Paterson but Fleetwood manage to clear for a corner.
15:47Ricky Charlesworth
Wednesday have a free-kick out on the left. Johnson whips in but it's too deep and Fleetwood look to counter before it's stubbed out. Sums up this drab first half.
15:41Ricky Charlesworth
Wilks does well to hold off his man and wiggles away in the box before flashing the ball across. Sadly, Fleetwood manage to hack it away safe.
15:37Ricky Charlesworth
Hunt goes for goal from outside the box but it flies wide of goal. Sustained pressure by the hosts.
15:35Ricky Charlesworth
Vaulks leathers the ball into the advertising board and earns a caution following a free-kick decision that didn't go the Owls' way.
15:34Ricky Charlesworth
Just over half an hour in and it's not been great but better than last week... just about.
Fleetwood happy with this you'd suspect.
15:30Ricky Charlesworth
Iorfa backtracks and heads the ball away from danger from underneath his own crossbar. Wednesday scramble it away and eventually win a free-kick.
15:30Ricky Charlesworth
Set-piece came to nothing for the Owls.
15:28Ricky Charlesworth
Rooney, who is making absolutely no friends here today, chops down Windass right on the edge of the box to the left. Free-kick and Rooney is booked.
15:18Ricky Charlesworth
Wilks turns on the gas and beats his man before cutting inside. His effort is deflected behind for a corner. Adenian then nods over from the set-piece.
15:16Ricky Charlesworth
Hunt clips another cross in and Fleetwood clear for a corner with Johnson lurking at the back-post. From the resulting corner Johnson's whipped cross is claimed by the visiting stopper.
15:14Ricky Charlesworth
The first attempt on target by either side as Hunt's centre sees Wilks meet it only for the forward to plant a header wide.
15:10Ricky Charlesworth
After a short period of treatment Rooney is back on and play is underway again.
15:08Ricky Charlesworth
Shaun Rooney appears to be clipped by Johnson. The Fleetwood defender has little sympathy from the home crowd after his antics on Boxing Day.
15:06Ricky Charlesworth
Not too much in these opening five minutes or so.
15:03Ricky Charlesworth
Windass and Paterson collide on halfway. Looked a nasty one.
15:02Ricky Charlesworth
Looks like the same formation as last week with Paterson and Wilks up top with Windass in the number 10 role.
15:01Ricky Charlesworth
Fleetwood kick us off, towards the Kop.
14:48Ricky Charlesworth
Just the South and North are open today, and Fleetwood fans are situated on the Leppings Lane lower so the attendance will be much smaller this afternoon than a normal league game.
14:31Ricky Charlesworth
Accrington Stanley 1-3 Leeds United
Walsall 0-1 Leicester
14:19Ricky Charlesworth
There's £120,000 up for grabs today for the winners today....

Remember if today's game finishes level after 90 minutes, it will be a replay - and a fourth meeting between the pair in over a month.
The Covid-affected seasons in recent years meant replays were scrapped but they are very much back on the menu.
13:22Ricky Charlesworth
I'm expecting a different game. Why do I say that? Because this will be the third time we have played each other inside just a few weeks so both teams had had a really good look at each other in terms of structure, style of play and personnel and if you look at the two previous games, at their place and here last week, you'd be splitting hairs and moments of brilliance have won us both games.
The focus is on building on that momentum.
13:06Ricky Charlesworth
Team news drops at 2pm - we'll be expecting a few changes, as is the norm for Darren Moore.
Aden Flint could be one to come in after re-signing yesterday.
