Preston has been playing all the matches on their own field so far in the current FA Cup, which significantly helps the team. At the start of the tournament, Paul Heckingbottom's team beat Charlton Athletic (2:1), and then only in a series of 11-meter shots passed Wycombe (0:0 in regular and extra time, 4:2 on penalties). The last time the team reached the 1/8 finals in the Cup was 10 years ago and failed to cope with Manchester United at that stage. Preston is not solving any serious tournament problems in the Championship this season, it is in 15th place after 34 rounds, while it has not won a single victory in the last three rounds – two draws and a defeat against Coventry on the eve of the cup game (1:2).
