Preview
Preston North End and Arsenal meet at Deepdale Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 30‑08‑1960 and ended with the final score: Preston North End (2‑0) Arsenal.

Analysis Preston

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. In their last match, for the Championship, they got an away win against Burton Albion by (0‑1). In the last 10 home matches Preston North End has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 13 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Preston heads into this match motivated after a 1-0 win away from home, against Burton, as Clarke scored their goal in the 45th minute. They usually play in a 4-3-3 formation, with Robinson, Hugill and Doyle as their forwards. When they go forward, they usually use the right wing, taking advantage of Clarke. Despite their formation, they usually like to control the match in their opponent's own half. One of their strengths is how they use crosses. They will be without Beckford, who is suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Chris Maxwell, Marnick Vermijl, Greg Cunningham, Paul Huntington, Tom Clarke, Ben Pearson, Aiden McGeady, Daniel Johnson, Paul Gallagher, Jordan Hugill, Callum Robinson.
Coach: A. Neil.
