Prediction: 1-1
Burnley
Saturday’s FA Cup game at Deepdale pits together Preston and Burnley, the two Championship sides. The Lilywhites aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Coventry City, but they face an uphill task against the high-flying Clarets. Will Keane is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Preston, while Kaine Kesler-Hayden should overcome his minor injury.
Burnley, on the other hand, rolled over Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 in their last league match, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Lancashire. The Clarets, though, are fully focused on the Championship and the Premier League promotion, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Fit-again midfielder Josh Brownhill is pushing for a start, while Aaron Ramsey continues to miss out with injury. Forward Luca Koleosho remains doubtful for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Preston):
Preston North End or Preston were founded in 1880. The Lilywhites or the Invincibles play their home games at Deepdale, the stadium that was built in 1875 and opened three years later.
In 1889 Preston won their first FA Cup trophy and they did well to beat Huddersfield Town in the final of the 1938 FA Cup final. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1889 and 1890 when they won back-to-back domestic trophies (First Division).
Preston have yet to win the League Cup title, but they were runners-up in 1888, 1922, 1937, 1954, 1964. Preston’s main rivals are Blackpool and the two teams square off against each other in the West Lancashire derby. In their first ever meeting in the West Lancashire derby (1901) Preston recorded a 4-1 win over Blackpool.
Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are considered Preston’s big rivals as well. The colour of Preston’s shirts is white and they wear dark blue shorts.
