What is the team news?
Harry Kane will be assessed after suffering from illness during the early part of the week.
Assistant Head Coach Cristian Stellini explained on Friday: “The most important thing we have to analyse is the condition of Harry. He played our last match with illness. This week, he trained only today. He’s not perfect, but he wants to travel with us, and he wants to be involved in the game. He wants to play in every game. We’re happy he’s back, but the last three days were not so perfect for him, because he pushed himself a lot in the last game.”
Arnaut Danjuma could make his debut after signing on loan from Villarreal this week, while Lucas Moura continued his quest to return to fitness with a goalscoring 45-minute stint for our Under-21s at Arsenal on Friday evening, so will not feature at Deepdale.
Our on-loan striker Troy Parrott is ineligible to feature for Preston against us under the terms of his loan, while Liam Delap is cup-tied for the hosts.
Ben Whiteman and Brad Potts have returned to training and could feature, but Emil Riis Jakobsen is sidelined.
What colours will the teams be playing in?
Preston will play in white shirts, navy blue shorts and blue-and-white hooped socks, with their goalkeeper in green.
We’ll be wearing our third kit, which is all light blue with darker blue patterns on the shirts, with our keeper in yellow.
Who is the referee?
Peter Bankes will take charge of Saturday’s tie at Deepdale.
He’ll be assisted by Edward Smart and Nick Greenhalgh, with John Busby as the fourth official.
What will the weather conditions be like?
It’s forecast to be cloudy and breezy in Preston on Saturday, with temperatures at around six degrees.
