If familiarity really does breed contempt, then these two sides will be sick of the sight of each other when this FA Cup tie is decided.

This was their third meeting between since Boxing Day following two recent League One encounters and they must now replay after neither side could find a winner in this fourth-round clash.

Promise Omochere’s delightful diving header put Fleetwood ahead early in the 52nd minute and raised hopes of a famous win for the Lancashire outfit in the first-ever fourth round tie.

The 22-year-old striker from the Republic of Ireland connected sweetly with Danny Andrew’s low left-wing cross and celebrated wildly in front of the travelling Cod Army.

Yet Wednesday fashioned a strong response and drew level in the 71st minute when Joshua Earl put through his own net under pressure from Owls frontman Mallik Wilks.

Three weeks ago, Darren Moore’s men famously beat Newcastle United 2-1 in the third round with two goals from Josh Windass.

That night will go down in Wednesday folklore but much of this game was largely disappointment for the majority of the 15,743 crowd, many of whom saw the Owls beat Fleetwood 1-0 in League One seven days earlier to strengthen their position in the automatic promotion places.

Escaping the third tier is Wednesday’s priority this season they could not make their first-half dominance pay as half chances came and went.

They withstood Wednesday’s first-half pressure and then hit them with a deadly sucker-punch early in the second half.

Fleetwood neatly worked the ball out to Andrew on the left flank and his was greeted by Omochere’s predatory header.

Wednesday came back strongly and were level when the ball was played in on the left flank and Earl diverted the ball into his own net.

From there the Owls pushed hard for a winner as substitute Lee Gregory headed over, Barry Bannan’s fierce shot was blocked by Scott Robertson and then Gregory nodded onto the crossbar late on.
