Aston Villa continues its FA Cup path on Sunday afternoon as they travel to the only EFL side left in the competition: Preston North End.
Villans have benefited from playing the entire Cup Cup in Villa Park, although they beat the Premier League rivals West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur On the way to the last eight. Unai Emery defeated Cardiff 2-0 for the last time.
Sevenflower winners lost two FA Cup finals in the 21st century, but did not raise trophies since 1957.
Preston was once a dominant force in England’s game, but much of their success arrived one century ago. The latter prevailed in this competition in 1938 and did not reach the semi -finals of the FA Cup since 1964.
Paul Heckingbott was the main of August 20 after Ryan Lowo’s departure, but Preston endured the famous season under former Sheffield United chief. Flipting forms before the international break leaves them 15th place in the second level and only with a remote chance to make a play-off.

Preston was without a few suspended players due to Sunday Cup, and Greenwood himself received his marching commands against Portsmouth before interruption, and Ryan Ledson picked up his second competition in the fifth round.
Kaine Kesler-Hayden cannot face his home club, while Ryan Porteous is tied.
On the front of the injury, Jack Whaugh’s calf’s injury could prevent it from the rest of the season. But McCann and the striker of Milutin Osman, whom FA recently accused of alleged racist remarks, doubt.
Preston predicted the VS Aston Villa line (5-2-1-2): Woodman; Storyy, Gibson, Lindsay, Bauer, Brady; Whiteman, Frogkjaer-Jensen; Thordarson; Keane, Riis.
Una emery will focus on the upcoming Aston Villa Champions League Quarterfinals with Paris Saint-Germain, but there is a lot of time between Sunday’s Cup and the first leg in the French capital.
Therefore, we can expect the Villas to be close to the full strength this weekend. While Ollie Watkins suffered less knee injuries before the break, he trained on the eve of his trip to Deepdale and is expected to lead the line.
Visitors are without Ross Barkley and Axel Disasi tied to a glass. Ezri Kons picked up a knock during the victory of England over Latvia on Monday, but played the entire match and is suitable for playing.
Aston Villa predicted the VS Preston (4-2-3-1) setup: Martinez; Gotovina, Konsa, Torres, raises; McGinn, tielemans; Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins.
Preston did not have to beat the opposition of the Premier League to reach the quarterfinals, although they were impressively in the fifth round of Burnley 3-0. They faced Arsenal in the fourth round of Carabao Cup last October, but they were incredibly beaten.
This is a great opportunity for the hosts, who have not enjoyed this competition at the best of 90 years. However, they have a huge task at their disposal.
Although Villa is far from the unhappy force on their travels, they should not have too many problems that have sent Heckingbottom’s rather uninspiring Preston side this weekend.
