Preston vs Tottenham LIVE: FA Cup result and final score after Son Heung-min double and Arnaut Danjuma debut goal

Tottenham hope to build some momentum for the back half of their season as they travel to Preston in the FA Cup fourth round this evening. After a poor run of games that saw them lose to Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League, Spurs got back to winning ways last time out with a 1-0 victory over Fulham thanks to Harry Kane’s strike just before half-time.

Antonio Conte’s men are still struggling to find any sort of attacking rhythm but today’s cup match – against a Championship opponent – could come at just the right time to click them into gear once again. However, the reverse is also true. Should Tottenham lose to Preston today they could will face increased pressure to perform in the league as they attempt to close the gap on the top four.

For their part, Preston will be no pushovers. They’re 11th in the Championship and although they ended 2022 in a bad run of form since the turn of the year Preston have won three of their four matches including a 3-1 comeback win against Huddersfield in the previous round of this competition. Can they surprise Tottenham this afternoon?

19:50 , Michael Jones

90+3 mins: The whistle goes and Tottenham advance into the fifth round of the FA Cup. For just over an hour Preston gave the Premier League side a good game but Son Heung-min’s deadlock breaker was the deciding factor.

He was brilliant tonight and seems to have found his form in front of goal again.

Preston 0-3 Tottenham

19:47 , Michael Jones

90 mins: Spurs are in cruise control now. They’ve made light work of things tonight and once that first goal went in for Son Heung-min Preston’s willpower started to dwindle.

Three minutes of added time to play.

87 mins: It’s three! Arnaut Danjuma has a goal on debut for Tottenham!

Lovely stuff.

19:42 , Michael Jones

84 mins: Son Heung-min takes in the applause of the travelling Tottenham fans. He’s been the best player on the pitch tonight.

Son is replaced with Bryan Gil for Spurs.

Preston 0-2 Tottenham

19:39 , Michael Jones

Preston 0-2 Tottenham

19:37 , Michael Jones

78 mins: Davinson Sanchez leaps into a tackle on Ched Evans and knocks the ball out for another Preston corner. Can the home side muster something from this?

Preston 0-2 Tottenham

19:32 , Michael Jones

75 mins: Tottenham now have a bunch of players on the pitch that want to impress Antonio Conte. They’ll no doubt try to extend this lead and put the game properly out of Preston’s reach.

19:19 , Michael Jones

62 mins: Tom Cannon dribbles the ball into the Tottenham box and cuts back on himself before releasing a pass. Tanganga puts a hand on Cannon’s shoulder and the forward dives to the floor looking for a penalty.

19:17 , Michael Jones

59 mins: Oh here we go. Alan Browne looks to whip the ball into the box from the right wing and he wins Preston a corner. Robbie Brady takes the set piece and whips it into the penalty area.

It’s a poor corner and doesn’t beat the first man. Chance wasted for Preston.

Preston 0-1 Tottenham

19:14 , Michael Jones

56 mins: Tottenham have livened up a bit since going in front. They’ll know that a second goal takes the tie away from Preston and they are hunting it down.

Sessegnon sweeps down the left wing and wins a corner but Preston deal with it well enough. The home fans are getting louder, they’re encouraging their team to make a comeback here.

Preston 0-1 Tottenham

19:10 , Michael Jones

53 mins: Things are going to get difficult for Preston now. At some point they’re going to have to loosen up their defensive shape and take the game to Spurs.

Tottenham lead!

Preston 0-0 Tottenham

19:07 , Michael Jones

48 mins: Shot! Tottenham pick up where they left off in the first half. They’re controlling the ball and passing it confidently up to the Preston final third then run out of ideas.

Will Spurs require his services once again?

Will Jadon Sancho play?

18:55 , Michael Jones

As part of Friday’s pre-match press conference Erik ten Hag was aksed whether Jadon Sancho would feature tonight and he replied:

“He is training with the team and we will see. I said he’s on the way back, he’s making steps."

Sancho wasn’t seen travelling to Old Trafford with the rest of the players so he may not be included in the matchday squad.

Man Utd vs Reading

Harry Kane is up there with the best, says Preston’s Spurs loanee Troy Parrott

17:52 , Michael Jones

Troy Parrott has not been asked by his Preston team-mates how to stop Tottenham forward Harry Kane, but admits his answer “would probably be you can’t”.

Spurs academy graduate Parrott will be reduced to watching on Saturday night after his parent club were drawn away to his current team in the FA Cup fourth round.

It could be a record-breaking occasion for Kane, who needs one more goal to move past Jimmy Greaves and become Tottenham’s outright leading scorer, but the striker has not been the sole talk of the Deepdale defenders this week.

Lowe wants Preston to express themselves

17:47 , Michael Jones

Ryan Lowe spoke about tonight’s FA Cup clash and says he’s excited to take on Spurs and hopes his team will express themselves against the Premier League side.

“I’m really excited, and I think the lads are excited as well,” said the Preston manager, “There’s a buzz around the place with Tottenham Hotspur coming to town, a Premier League club who are doing fantastically well.

“It’s a real opportunity for our lads to test themselves against a fantastic team.

“The message [to the players] is to go out and show what you can do. We’re live on the BBC, which everyone knows, so go and show good players how good you can be as well.

“I think the respect will be there mutually. They’ll respect us, we’ll massively respect them for where they are and what they’ve done, but I think it’s a case of going out and expressing yourselves and showcasing what you can do.”

‘We’ll have a go and see what happens'

17:42 , Michael Jones

Ryan Ledson is aware of how difficult tonight’s clash with Tottenham will be be that won’t stop Preston playing with intent and confidence tonight.

“They’ve got, I would say, the best striker in the world in Harry Kane. As I’ve mentioned, they’ve got Son too, but they’re solid at the back as well.” he said before the match,

“Obviously they’ve got Conte who’s an unbelievable manager, who’s been everywhere.

“They’ll be solid and they’ll be good going forward, so we all know it’s going to be a tough game, but hopefully we can give them a good game and give a good account of ourselves.

“It’s sort of like the pressure’s off. No one expects us to go and beat a top four Premier League side, but why not? Let’s just go and have a go at them and see what happens.”

Will Danjuma make his debut?

17:37 , Michael Jones

Spurs’ new signing Arnaut Danjuma has travelled with the squad to Lancashire and he could make his debut at Deepdale.

Danjuma starts on the bench tonight.

Arnaut Danjuma on joining Spurs

17:32 , Michael Jones

“I’m delighted to be here,” said Arnuat Danjuma after signing for Tottenham. “Obviously, this opportunity is very important to me. I’m just really happy to be here.

“To be honest with you, as soon as Tottenham Hotspur came through, it was a no brainer. It is a massive club with a brilliant coach, brilliant staff and the facilities are obviously unbelievable. So, for me, I’m very, very excited to be part of the team.

“I hope to be positive, hope to leave a good impact, hope to be able to prove my qualities as a player, hope to give something new and something enthusiastic for the fans.

“And obviously aim for the highest possible in every competition we are competing in.”

The history between Preston and Tottenham

17:27 , Michael Jones

Spurs first played Preston North End competitively in the FA Cup on 27th January, all the way back in 1900.

Then in the Southern League, Tottneham lost that first round clash 1-0 to in front of 7,000 fans at Deepdale.

But, just a year later, they were back in Lancashire at the same stage of the competition and produced a stunning 4-2 win in a replay on their way to writing history by becoming the first and only non-league team to lift the famous trophy.

Harry Kane’s bid to become Tottenham’s record scorer faces delay

17:22 , Michael Jones

Illness could see Harry Kane miss out on the chance to become Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time leading scorer in Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Preston.

The Spurs forward went level with Jimmy Greaves on Monday when he hit the winner at Fulham to score his 266th goal for the club.

Boss Antonio Conte revealed afterwards Kane had struggled with a fever and he missed training on Wednesday and Thursday this week before he returned on Friday ahead of the weekend clash at Sky Bet Championship outfit Preston.

'Anything can happen’

17:17 , Michael Jones

Spurs will arrive at Deepdale to face off against Preston tonight for the first time since their meeting at the same venue in 2009 and Ryan Ledson believes his Lancashire side can cause an FA Cup shock.

Th midfielder said: “Obviously we’re coming up against some of the best players in the world. You only have to look at the front three with Harry Kane, Son, and maybe Richarlison.

“They’ve all just been at the World Cup so obviously they’re unbelievable players, and it’s good to test yourself. At Deepdale, hopefully it’s going to be a full house and the fans can get behind us and we can give it a real good go.

“Anything can happen; it’s football. In the FA Cup especially, you’ve seen some bigger shocks than Preston beating Tottenham. We’ll go there, it’s a free hit for us.

“We’ll go and enjoy ourselves, we’ll enjoy the day and give it a right good go.”

Preston vs Tottenham team changes

Will Arnaut Danjuma start for Spurs?

16:55 , Michael Jones

Cristian Stellini was asked whether Tottenham’s new signing Arnaut Danjuma would start for Spurs today and he was non-committal with his reply saying:

“It depends on the system we use. In the system we use normally he could be a number 10, or a striker. This is the way we want to work with him. This season we lost Lucas for a long time, and we need a player to add to our rotation and it’s good to have him.

“He has experience, because he’s played good Champions League last season. He is a player that can play like a striker, like a winger. He has a lot of positions he can cover, so we are happy, and we are looking forward to working with him.

“It’s normal in January, you need time to give him all the information to play in our team. We are happy, we want to work with him and we are looking forward to working with him.”

Jack Harrison rocket inspires Leeds past Accrington in FA Cup

16:50 , Michael Jones

Leeds avoided another FA Cup upset by winning 3-1 at Accrington to reach the fifth round for just the fourth time in 20 years.

Jack Harrison’s stunning strike gave the Premier League side an interval lead and two goals in as many second-half minutes from Junior Firpo and Luis Sinisterra killed the tie.

But it was not all plain sailing for Jesse Marsch’s side and Sky Bet League One side Accrington deservedly pulled one back through teenage substitute Leslie Adekoya’s first senior goal.

But Leeds, dumped out of the cup by the likes of Hereford, Histon, Rochdale, Sutton, Newport and Crawley in recent years, had too much quality for their hosts and reached the last 16 for the first time in seven years.

16:45 , Michael Jones

Kelechi Iheanacho was Leicester’s FA Cup saviour again as the Foxes squeezed past Walsall.

The substitute’s deflected strike clinched a 1-0 win to send the visitors into the fifth round and spare Youri Tielemans’ blushes. The skipper missed a second-half penalty before Iheanacho ended the Saddlers’ stubborn resistance.

Iheanacho, who also scored the winner in the 1-0 third-round victory at Gillingham, now has 17 goals in 23 FA Cup appearances.

Harry Kane a doubt

16:40 , Michael Jones

Harry Kane is a doubt for tonight’s FA Cup match against Preston after missing training due to illness earlier in the week. Antonio Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini took the pre-match press conference and confirmed that Kane has travelled with the squad but may not feature.

“The most important thing we have to analyse is the condition of Harry [Kane].” he said, “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.”

Early team news for Preston

16:35 , Michael Jones

Preston will be without Tottneham loanee Troy Parrott as the forward is unavailable for selection against his parent club.

Liam Delap is also cup tied having represented Stoke City in their third round victory over Hartlepool United. Ben Whiteman and Brad Potts were back in training, and therefore should be in contention to feature.
