Man Utd vs Reading LIVE: FA Cup result and final score after Casemiro hits double

Here come the teams.

There’s a packed house inside the stadium and the Preston fans are singing and chanting already. Tottenham won’t have an easy night here.

Kick off is up next.

The warm-ups are done and dusted. The players are gathering in the tunnel and kick off is quickly approaching. Will Spurs dominate against Preston tonight or can the Lillywhites shock the Premier League side?

Troy Parrott has not been asked by his Preston team-mates how to stop Tottenham forward Harry Kane, but admits his answer “would probably be you can’t”.

Spurs academy graduate Parrott will be reduced to watching on Saturday night after his parent club were drawn away to his current team in the FA Cup fourth round.

It could be a record-breaking occasion for Kane, who needs one more goal to move past Jimmy Greaves and become Tottenham’s outright leading scorer, but the striker has not been the sole talk of the Deepdale defenders this week.

Ryan Lowe spoke about tonight’s FA Cup clash and says he’s excited to take on Spurs and hopes his team will express themselves against the Premier League side.

“I’m really excited, and I think the lads are excited as well,” said the Preston manager, “There’s a buzz around the place with Tottenham Hotspur coming to town, a Premier League club who are doing fantastically well.

“It’s a real opportunity for our lads to test themselves against a fantastic team.

“The message [to the players] is to go out and show what you can do. We’re live on the BBC, which everyone knows, so go and show good players how good you can be as well.

“I think the respect will be there mutually. They’ll respect us, we’ll massively respect them for where they are and what they’ve done, but I think it’s a case of going out and expressing yourselves and showcasing what you can do.”

Ryan Ledson is aware of how difficult tonight’s clash with Tottenham will be be that won’t stop Preston playing with intent and confidence tonight.

“They’ve got, I would say, the best striker in the world in Harry Kane. As I’ve mentioned, they’ve got Son too, but they’re solid at the back as well.” he said before the match,

“Obviously they’ve got Conte who’s an unbelievable manager, who’s been everywhere.

“They’ll be solid and they’ll be good going forward, so we all know it’s going to be a tough game, but hopefully we can give them a good game and give a good account of ourselves.

“It’s sort of like the pressure’s off. No one expects us to go and beat a top four Premier League side, but why not? Let’s just go and have a go at them and see what happens.”

Spurs’ new signing Arnaut Danjuma has travelled with the squad to Lancashire and he could make his debut at Deepdale.

Danjuma completed his move on Wednesday, sealing a loan until the end of the season from Spanish side Villarreal.

He will be the first player to make his debut in the FA Cup since Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur came off the bench last season in their fourth round win over Brighton.

Danjuma starts on the bench tonight.

“I’m delighted to be here,” said Arnuat Danjuma after signing for Tottenham. “Obviously, this opportunity is very important to me. I’m just really happy to be here.

“To be honest with you, as soon as Tottenham Hotspur came through, it was a no brainer. It is a massive club with a brilliant coach, brilliant staff and the facilities are obviously unbelievable. So, for me, I’m very, very excited to be part of the team.

“I hope to be positive, hope to leave a good impact, hope to be able to prove my qualities as a player, hope to give something new and something enthusiastic for the fans.

“And obviously aim for the highest possible in every competition we are competing in.”

Spurs first played Preston North End competitively in the FA Cup on 27th January, all the way back in 1900.

Then in the Southern League, Tottneham lost that first round clash 1-0 to in front of 7,000 fans at Deepdale.

But, just a year later, they were back in Lancashire at the same stage of the competition and produced a stunning 4-2 win in a replay on their way to writing history by becoming the first and only non-league team to lift the famous trophy.

Illness could see Harry Kane miss out on the chance to become Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time leading scorer in Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Preston.

The Spurs forward went level with Jimmy Greaves on Monday when he hit the winner at Fulham to score his 266th goal for the club.

Boss Antonio Conte revealed afterwards Kane had struggled with a fever and he missed training on Wednesday and Thursday this week before he returned on Friday ahead of the weekend clash at Sky Bet Championship outfit Preston.

Spurs will arrive at Deepdale to face off against Preston tonight for the first time since their meeting at the same venue in 2009 and Ryan Ledson believes his Lancashire side can cause an FA Cup shock.

Th midfielder said: “Obviously we’re coming up against some of the best players in the world. You only have to look at the front three with Harry Kane, Son, and maybe Richarlison.

“They’ve all just been at the World Cup so obviously they’re unbelievable players, and it’s good to test yourself. At Deepdale, hopefully it’s going to be a full house and the fans can get behind us and we can give it a real good go.

“Anything can happen; it’s football. In the FA Cup especially, you’ve seen some bigger shocks than Preston beating Tottenham. We’ll go there, it’s a free hit for us.

“We’ll go and enjoy ourselves, we’ll enjoy the day and give it a right good go.”
