Third Round Tie Against Crewe

Preston pulled out a home draw in the FA Cup Third Round against Crewe. The Lillywhites managed to avoid all the big names but more importantly pulled out a home tie in January. Preston will feel a sense of deja vu as a day earlier they picked up all three points in the league at Gresty Road.

Local non-league side Burscough have pulled a plum draw if they can get past Burton in the postponed second round tie. The town situated on the A59 between Preston and Liverpool face the lucrative prospect of entertaining Manchester United if they overcome their second round opponents.
