The Toffees will take on the Owls at Hillsborough after Marco Silva’s side got the better of Lincoln in round two.
A number of Everton fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the Carabao Cup third-round draw, which has put the Goodison Park side up against Sheffield Wednesday away.
The Toffees booked their place in round three after a hard-fought 4-2 win away at Lincoln City, the League One side leading after 20 seconds when Harry Anderson fired home from Jack Payne’s cross.
Lucas Digne equalised with a 30-yard free kick before Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a penalty, and even though Bruno Andrade levelled for Lincoln with a volley, Alex Iwobi and Richarlison headed home to put Marco Silva’s side into the third round.
As for Wednesday, a last-minute goal from Atdhe Nuhiu was enough to seal a 1-0 victory for Lee Bullen’s side away at Rotherham United in the second round of the competition on Wednesday evening.
The last time the Toffees faced the Owls in a competitive match was in September 2007, also in the League Cup at Hillsborough, Everton coming out 3-0 winners on that occasion, as per the Wednesday website.
