The Lilywhites were first out of the hat in the live Sky Sports Draw meaning they will face Championship opposition at home for the second consecutive round.North End convincingly saw off the challenge of Huddersfield Town on Monday evening 2-0, courtesy of first half goals from Jack King and Nicky Wroe.Palace, now managed by their former striker Dougie Freeman, will provide another stern test for PNE but a challenge Graham Westley's side will be more than up for.PNE boss Graham Westley said: “It is always good to be at home in the cup, It is great to have drawn another Championship side, we were established in that division for a number of years and we are aspiring to get back to that level. It is a good draw all round and we are looking forward to the test.”
