Sheffield Wednesday v Hereford United Live

Miller missing for Owls Sheffield Wednesday will be without midfielder Tommy Miller for up to six weeks due to a hamstring problem and striker Gary Madine is ineligible. Miller, who sustained the injury in Saturday's defeat at Orient and missed the 2-2 midweek draw with Yeovil, will play no part in the FA Cup clash with Hereford, while Madine, who made a scoring debut in midweek following his arrival from Carlisle, is cup-tied. Owls manager Alan Irvine will choose between Clinton Morrison and Paul Heffernan to partner Neil Mellor. But Wednesday will be boosted by the return to contention of versatile defender Lewis Buxton, who has also been sidelined with a hamstring injury. Fellow defender Jon Otsemobor is still missing with calf trouble and teenage midfielder Liam Palmer is struggling with an ankle problem. Hereford are not expected to make any changes as they bid to make the fifth round for the first time in their history. Manager Jamie Pitman made just one enforced switch for Tuesday`s 2-1 victory over Morecambe, with Birmingham loanee Jake Jervis coming in for star striker Mathieu Manset following his departure for Reading. And having seen his side clock up a fifth successive win, Pitman is likely to keep the faith at Hillsborough. Full-back Ryan Green returned from suspension to take his place on the bench in midweek and will be involved again, yet long-term absentees Ryan Valentine and Dan Connor (both hip) continue to miss out. More than 1,500 Bulls fans are expected to make the trip to Yorkshire to cheer on a Hereford side who have made it through to the fourth round having finally seen off Lincoln and then Wycombe in quick succession three weeks ago.
