Double Chance – Preston or Draw (90 mins)
There’s some reluctance from me to back Preston outright for this tie as they’re so inconsistent, particularly at Deepdale.
Ryan Lowe’s side drew five of their opening six games this season 0-0, and the Lilywhites sit 11th in the Championship table but remain well in the mix for a play-off position – that’s despite a recent inability to put together a winning run.
However, I’m also reluctant to back Spurs in this one, as the question is which Spurs will turn up?
Antonio Conte’s side aren’t in a great place at the moment having lost to bitter rivals Arsenal at home and following that up by blowing a two-goal lead away at Manchester City only to lose 4-2. The edged past Fulham last time out, thanks to a sublime strike from Harry Kane.
Basically, I don’t like the showings of either side on a consistent basis to back them outright, so I’m backing Preston/Draw double chance.
Harry Kane to score anytime (90 mins)
It’s hard to look elsewhere for goals in this game.
The England captain scored against Fulham last time out, as well as in Spurs’ third-round clash with Portsmouth, which now brings him level with Tottenham’s all-time top goalscorer Jimmy Greaves on 266 strikes.
Kane will have the record in his sights at Deepdale, as the eight-time FA Cup champions aim to end a fifth-round hoodoo that has bedevilled them in recent seasons.
Total Goals – Under 2.5 Goals (90 mins)
Spurs’ last three wins have all been to nil and two of them have been by one goal, so I can see a low-scoring affair taking place at Deepdale.
Meanwhile, Preston have only scored 26 goals in 28 games in the Championship – only Cardiff City and Huddersfield have scored fewer.
