A Look At Our Visitors
Tottenham Hotspur – who currently sit fifth in the Premier League table – booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to a 1-0 victory at home to Portsmouth.
Since that game, Spurs have suffered defeats to the division’s top two, Arsenal and Manchester City, before beating Fulham at the beginning of the week.
Antonio Conte will be keen for his side to progress in the competition, having been knocked out of the Carabao Cup at their point of entry, as Spurs look to add their first silverware since their League Cup success in the 2007/08 campaign.
Going Head To Head
Games played: 68
PNE wins: 30
Draws: 17
Spurs wins: 21
Last meeting: PNE 1-5 Tottenham Hotspur, 23rd September 2009
One To Watch
All eyes – even more than usual – will be on Harry Kane this weekend as he looks to become Tottenham Hotspur’s top goalscorer of all time.
The striker, who is also England’s joint-top scorer in international history, was said to have levelled Jimmy Greaves’ famous record of 266 goals for Spurs earlier in the week.
However, two goals which Greaves scored in the Charity Shield seem to have been left out of the legend’s tally and there is some dispute regarding whether or not these should count.
So, depending on who you ask, it will take either one or three goals for Kane to break free as the club’s top scorer but, either way, it appears just a matter of time.
Match Officials
Experienced referee Peter Bankes will take charge of his second fixture at Deepdale this season on Saturday.
Bankes, who officiates in the Premier League primarily, refereed the 1-1 home draw against Burnley earlier this season, and his only previous experience of taking charge of a PNE game in the FA Cup was back in 2018, when North End won 5-1 at Wycombe Wanderers.
So far this season, Bankes has shown 87 yellow cards and one red in 20 games, with that sole dismissal being Nottingham Forest’s Orel Mangala, incidentally in a match against Spurs.
