Sheffield Wednesday vs Newcastle live stream: match preview

Two teams in exceptional form clash at Hillsborough today in what could be one of the standout ties of the FA Cup third round. Sheffield Wednesday have won six of their last nine games and are unbeaten in 17, a run that stretches all the way back to the start of October. Newcastle have emerged as one of the country's top teams this season, and their fans are desperate for a trophy to show for it. Here's how to watch a Sheffield Wednesday vs Newcastle live stream online wherever you are.

As feared, Owls captain Barry Bannan is out of action, so Fisayo Dele-Bashiru takes his place in central midfield. Darren Moore has also handed Dominic Iorfa a chance to impress, while goal machines Michael Smith and Josh Windass start together up front.

The big news is the return of Newcastle's record signing Alexander Isak, after nearly four months out with a hamstring injury. Eddie Howe has said he'd like to go on a cup run, though he's decided to keep most of his key players in reserve, with Joelinton, Sean Longstaff and Sven Botman the only other first-team regulars starting.

Third in the Premier League and unbeaten in 15 games, expectations in Newcastle haven't been this high since Shearer and Bellamy were leading the line. Isak's return has given the Magpies faithful yet another reason to get carried away. 

Moore has turned Wednesday into a force to be reckoned with in League Two after their relegation last summer, and key to the rebuild has been top scorer Smith, whose goals have made the Owls the most prolific team in the league. He's slowed down a little of late, but his partner in crime Windass has upped his contributions. Bannan and Lee Gregory will be missed, but on a more positive note, the South Yorkshire team have won each of their last three meetings with the Barcodes.

The match is free on the BBC, and can also be watched through subscription streaming services ESPN+ in the US and Paramount Plus in Australia. Here's how to get a Sheffield Wednesday vs Newcastle live stream and watch this FA Cup fixture online from wherever you are today.
