Only two matches remaining for today. Last match is Man United against someone in total obviation. But first we have:
Preston +1.5 (-130) v. Tottenham
After coming from behind to defeat Huddersfield 3-1 in the third round, Preston North End booked a 12th FA Cup meeting with Premier League (PL) giants Tottenham Hotspur, but the first since 1967/68, looking to even up the record (W4, D2, L5). On the Championship front, Ryan Lowe’s men kept their play-off hopes alive with a 2-1 win at Birmingham last weekend, but their return of just two wins across their last ten FA Cup games suggests reaching the fifth round for the first time since 2014/15 appears a longshot.

Playing against top-flight opponents doesn’t bode well for Preston either as they’ve lost their last five FA Cup games against PL opponents, though encouragingly they have managed to get on the scoresheet in each of the last three. If they are to end that run, the Lilywhites may need to end a run of five straight home games without a clean sheet (W1, L4), with a shocking 12 goals conceded during that time.
