Preston North End: Preston North End aim to become the first team in 45 years to lift the coveted FA Cup whilst not playing in England’s top flight. The last team to achieve the humongous feat was West Ham in 1980.

Preston are currently placed 14th in the EFL Championship having won only 10 of their 38 games whilst drawing on 17 occasions. Captain Ben Whiteman claimed the high-stakes clash against Aston Villa, on Sunday at the Deepdale Stadium.

"When we get the ball we have to show how good we are. We know how good Villa are and their strengths and weaknesses but it is an FA Cup quarter-final and we have to make it into a dogfight as well. This is a fantastic competition with lots of history and hopefully we can go one step further,” said Ben to BBC Sports.
