Sheffield Wednesday: Steve Agnew on the big prize up for grabs in the FA Cup
It is a big prize up for grabs and caretaker Owls boss Steve Agnew is urging the players to not let the opportunity slip through their grasp.
"Knowing Chelsea is the prize adds a lot," said Agnew. "A fantastic incentive for all the players. I am sure Luton will say the same.

"The club needs something like that. It is a massive football club with a great fanbase. Getting through would be a reminder of the old times, a number of years ago now when the club was playing Chelsea on a regular basis.
"Live on TV, too. They are the things we would look forward to. But we also know there is a very difficult cup tie to play first.
"We have to think , yes, it is a great opportunity but, more importantly, there is this game at Luton.

Goalkeeper Keiren Westwood is expected to sit-out the tie. Westwood, who pulled off a string of fine saves against Hull City last weekend, has picked up a toe injury. Cameron Dawson is set to return in goal.
Sam Hutchinson is rated as 50-50 after picking up at a knock at the weekend and Joey Pelupessy (ankle) is also an injury worry.
