Preston v Tottenham LIVE commentary: Danjuma set for debut with Conte under pressure to end trophy drought ahead of FA Cup fourth round clash – kick-off time, team news and coverage talkSPORT

Tottenham will be seeking to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for a fourth successive season against Preston North End this weekend.

Spurs, desperate to end their long trophy drought this term, have not seen such progress from the fourth round in 40 years.

But in each previous season they have failed to reach Wembley, having not appeared in an FA Cup final since their 1991 triumph over Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham have found hope under Antonio Conte and have talisman Harry Kane on incredible form after scoring 14 goals in their last 14 FA Cup appearances.

Preston could provide a potential banana peel, who are just two points off the top six in the Championship.

Preston vs Tottenham: team news

The hosts will be without Spurs loanee Troy Parrott who is unreadable to face his parent club.

But two other Premier League players on loan, Everton’s Thomas Cannon and Manchester City striker Liam Delap, could feature.

The visitors can make their immediate debut on loan signing Arnaut Danjuma following the completion of his loan move from Villarreal.

The presence of the Dutchman could allow Dejan Kulusevski or Heung-min Son to rest, with Lucas Moura still on the sidelines.

Preston vs Tottenham: What was said?

Preston boss Ryan Lowe has revealed he had a chance meeting with Conte’s brother two months before the sides faced off in the FA Cup.

He told the Mail: “I was in Antonio Conte’s dressing room watching Liverpool win with my boy.

“We were invited, we ate and all that. It was an awesome experience. His brother Daniele was excellent. We talked a bit about Antonio.

“So, there you go, we are drawn against them. I know Antonio’s agent and I asked him what red wine he drank.

“I hope he can come at the end of the game and have a drink. I might have to speak a bit slowly because of my Scouse English.
