Preston preview: FA Cup glory
Preston produced quite an upset last time out, with a 3-0 win over Burnley. Their visitors had kept clean sheets in all but one of their previous 14 games.
That win injects some much-needed life into Preston's campaign, which has largely look to be another unspectacular season of Championship football.
It is not all sunshine at Deepdale, however, as they will miss five players through injury for this one.
Predicted Lineup: Woodman (GK); Potts, Kesler-Hayden, Lindsay, Gibson, Brady; Ledson, Thordarson, McCann; Osmajic Keane

Swansea preview: Going steady
While Preston were shocking Burnley, Swansea produced an impressive 3-0 win of their own, defeating promotion-chasing Blackburn Rovers, which should imbue them with confidence going into this one.
The Swans will be without veteran midfielder Joe Allen on Tuesday, as well as Kristian Pederson.
Predicted Lineup: Vigouroux (GK); Key, Cabango, Darling, Tymon; Franco, O'Brien; Pereira, Cullen, Peart-Harris; Vipotnik

Player to watch – Kaine Kesler-Hayden
An unsung star of Preston's win over Burnley was defender Kaine Kesler-Hayden.
The Aston Villa loanee, 22, played as an outside centre-back in a back three on Saturday, despite being a flying full-back by trade.
Kesler-Hayden shone in his new role, helping to keep the Clarets out. We are intrigued to see where the youngster plays on Tuesday.
