What channel is Preston v Aston Villa FA Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Preston v Aston Villa in the FA Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Preston North End will be hunting an upset when they host Aston Villa at Deepdale in Sunday's first FA Cup quarter-final.
The last EFL representatives left in the competition, Preston have enjoyed an underwhelming Championship campaign, sitting 15th as things stand, but have already claimed a Premier League scalp this term – knocking Fulham out of the League Cup on penalties back in September.
The Lilywhites have a strong history in the FA Cup, having hoisted the famous trophy twice, but a win for Paul Heckingbottom's team would make them the first North End side to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup since their defeat to West Ham in the final in the 1960s.
Seven-time winners Aston Villa will see the competition as a huge opportunity to end a 29-year wait for silverware and are considered one of the favourites ahead of quarter-final weekend, with out-of-sorts Man City the only traditional big club still in the draw.
They will be wary of the magic of the FA Cup as they travel up to Deepdale in the hope of avoiding an upset and punching their ticket for the semi-finals at Wembley.
