It's no surprise to see that Tottenham are the big favourite to win this FA Cup tie but what else are the bookmakers expecting? Well, if you want to back a First Goalscorer in this game then look no further than Harry Kane who is currently priced at 27/10 (3.70) – 27% with Preston's Alfie Devine priced at 7/1 (8.00) – 12.5% to register the first goal this weekend.
How will the teams lineups for this FA Cup clash?
Preston
Preston had to come from behind at home to Huddersfield in the last round of the FA Cup. The first forty-five minutes ended goalless but the visitors took the lead in the 57th-minute. Preston responded really well to going behind and were back on level terms on the hour mark thanks to an own goal from Lees. Diaby then fired Preston in front in the 73rd-minute and Browne made it 3-1 5-minutes from time.
Predicted Lineup: Woodman (GK), Hughes, Lindsay, Storey, Brady, Browne, Ledson, Woodburn, McCann, Cannon & Delap
Tottenham
Tottenham weren't as convincing as many expected at home to Portsmouth in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. In the end, a solitary strike from Harry Kane in the 50th-minute proved enough for the home side to scrape through to the next round, but Conte's men will need to put in a much better performance on Saturday if they want to progress any further.
Predicted Lineup: Lloris (GK), Davies, Dier, Romero, Emerson, Perišić, Højbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son & Kane
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Harry Kane
Kane proved to be Tottenham's match-winner in the last round of the FA Cup and we're expecting the England captain to have a big impact on Saturday's result as well.
The Tottenham talisman has scored 16 goals in the league this season, one in the FA Cup, and one in the Champions League. Preston will know that they need to stop Kane both in and outside the box this weekend as the England international is both a provider and scorer of goals on a regular basis, liking to drop deep to start attacks.
Kane is an expert from 12 yards out and with so many tricky dribblers in their side, you can see Tottenham earning a spot-kick this weekend which Kane will inevitably convert. Preston could cause an upset in this game but if Kane plays well, a Tottenham victory is the most likely result.
