Spurs

Our quest for a first trophy in over 15 years continues with a trip to Deepdale on Saturday evening, as Preston North End lie in wait for the fourth round of the FA Cup. The hosts defeated Huddersfield 3-1 to book their spot in round four, while we edged past Portsmouth 1-0 in North London earlier this month.

Harry Kane thumped home a delightful winner to send us into round four, and he produced another sublime strike in Monday's 1-0 success over Fulham, which cemented his name in another page of our record books

Now level with our all-time top goal scorer Jimmy Greaves on 266 strikes, Kane will have the record in his sights at Deepdale, as we aim to end a fifth-round hoodoo that has bedevilled us in recent seasons.


We have been knocked out in the fifth round of the FA Cup in the past three editions - the most recent of which was to a lower-tier side in Middlesbrough last season - and our last two FA Cup eliminations have both come away from home.

Familiar foes in the early years of the 20th century, both Preston and us will renew hostilities this weekend for the first time since the 2009-10 League Cup, where Peter Crouch struck a hat-trick in a 5-1 success for us.

Preston

A playoff charge is certainly not out of the question for 11th-placed Preston, who are only two points off the top six in the tightly-congested Championship table, and the two-time FA Cup champions now endeavour to seal a fifth-round berth for the first time since the 2014-15 campaign, where they lost to Manchester United.

It is not the hosts' form at Deepdale that has them in with a shot of a playoff place, though, as they have won just four games in front of their own fans all season long, and defeat to Norwich was their fourth Championship loss on the bounce at home.

Unlike the entertaining four-goal spectacle that occurred at Deepdale in the third round, our clash versus League One side Portsmouth was a much more low-key affair, but ourtrustworthy talisman would produce one moment of brilliance to settle the contest.
