Palace face Preston

Potentially the only all Championship encounter of the fourth round depending on results of the replays.

The all Championship affair is the same as last years draw apart from a different venue. Last season, Preston were held 1-1 at Deepdale before travelling to Selhurst Park to wrap up the game and enter the fifth round where they faced Middlesbrough. The score at Selhurst Park was 1-2 with a brace from Danny Dichio.

The tie maybe tricky but it is a relatively easy draw compared to what Preston could have faced. They should be no qualms within the Preston camp.

The game is expected to be on Saturday 27th January but could be played on either the Friday or Sunday.
