Since meeting in the Championship in 2008/09, these clubs have experienced very different fortunes. Birmingham gained promotion and a measure of stability under Alex McLeish and new owners, Wednesday have endured relegation and dismissed two managers.
The beauty of the FA Cup is still its lack of respect for league positions, so the Owls have nothing to lose against a Premier League outfit preoccupied with a relegation battle. Wednesday will hope the new manager effect takes hold at St Andrews as former player Gary Megson continues his honeymoon period in the Hillsborough hot seat, and anyone looking to place an FA Cup bet should bear this in mind.
Alan Irvine left the club unable to reverse its habit of producing similar results in clumps
