In the third round of the FA Cup, Preston North End will play host to Huddersfield Town at the Deepdale Stadium on Saturday, January 7. Monday’s 1-0 victory over Stoke City ended the Lilywhites’ three-game losing streak. The team led by Ryan Lowe is tenth in the Championship with 37 points from 26 games. Huddersfield, on the other hand, has had a terrible season, winning just seven games and scoring 25 points in 25 games to finish second in the table.
The Terriers have also experienced a few managerial changes in the midst of the chaos, beginning with Carlos Corberan’s resignation in July. Soon after, Danny Schofield took his place, but after just one win in nine games, he was fired in September. Prior to Mark Fotheringham’s appointment as the new permanent manager, Paul Harsley and Narcs Pèlach took on caretaker responsibilities for a period of two weeks.
