Preston against Aston Villa: Fa Quarter-Final-Live | FA CUP
Key events
19 min Rogers runs to Gibson, turning in this way and that, but with the blood of the defender already completely twisted, he tries once again when he does not need and is robbed.
17 min “I can’t believe they haven’t been deleted,” says Dave Estherby of balloons. “It looks a little foolish, but you can imagine the lament if there is a confusion in offside between the ball and a white balloon or if one of the goalkeeper undergoes a pepper -style accident …”
I promise that I will face the lament if we have so glorious an eternal moment conferred on us.
15 min Preston is really struggling to go out, but has yet to grant a right possibility. And fans of the house want a free kick when Meghoma is torn in cash, but the REF does not agree.
14 min The corner is half for the front pole, so Asensio pour a lush cross on the rear pole, but Konssa does not have enough on his basket.
13 min The regers feeds a ball forward in Rashford, now on the right, and his cross is blocked behind; The skin on Preston is building.
12 min Heckingbottom will be widely satisfied with the start of his team. Preston has not threatened, but nor were they really threatened.
11 min Villa is short, the cross heads almost to Asensio on the back, but Preston is clear before it can do it.
10 min Fine Long Diag of Mings, led for Ramsey in Inside-Right and its cross, looking for Rashford, is kicked behind for a corner.
10 min Rashford surpasses the wall, but straight to the goalkeeper.
8 min Many balloons released when the teams have come out are still on the pitch, especially on the edge of the Preston box, and when Ramsey drives the box, Thordarson breaks it down. Vill Free-Dolly, at 25 IARDE, to the left of the D.
7 min Villa flows well through the midfield, Digne that slides Ramsey behind, left side of the box, and her cross is well eliminated by Gibson.
6 min Preston wins a shot along the right, deep in the middle of the villa, and Riis will launch for a long time and flat … for Martinez to collect.
6 min Also in progress:
4 min Ah, it is Rashford in the middle. Villa needs men around him, so he can touch and go.
2 min The poor passage from Digne and Keane grabs him, there in front of Tielemans, well inside the box, and clash with Tielemans; Preston wants a penalty and Keane certainly plays it, but the referee and the VAR have no interest.
1 min With Brady patrolling the right side, my meaning is that Preston will seek insinuation crosses on the rear pole, to be attacked by Keane and Jakobsen. Michael’s former twin brother is not the fastest, but has an adorable touch and is useful in the air.
1 min Aaaand via let’s go!
Emi Martínez has had an intense international break. Of course he did it.
As previously discussed, Villa has not won the cup since 1957. Here is a bit about the final of that year, from Joy of Six: Fouls.
Our teams are tunnel … And here they come!
We talk about it much less often, But Tielemans and Kamara are also doing an excellent job for Villa, able to protect the four rear four and build attacks. Mings and Konssa are not the greatest defenders in the world, but Preston has a job to do to reach them.
I can’t wait to see Morgan Rogers today. I love his muscular intelligence and the desire to play gamble: he has a job to do in terms of connective passages and general game contributions, but could develop in a very serious artist.
Heckingbottom tells us that Woodman is out for the season with a bad ankle injury. So it’s a great opportunity for Cornell and this is a day in which they have to have fun.
In the meantime, Emery hopes that his team will return from the break to play as before, and this is the first time he had the opportunity to take part in a quarter final.
It is worth noting: In Preston’s goal, from Cornell he plays while Freddie Woodman is injured. He only played twice this season, but he will be eager for a Steve Cherry style FA CUP fairy tale.
E-mail! “Playing Asensio seems to me a little tough,” says Kieran McKintosh. “And considering that the PSG is not so far away, a little questionable. My second biggest hope for today is a rashford goal. A lot of time has passed. My greatest hope, however, must hope that anyone, anyone, will sell me that lego set for years at a decent price. No, eBay no, eBay, 604 pieces do not deserve £ 140. decent.
This shark only trampled on one of those 604 pieces.
Villa, in the meantime, It will use Rashford and Ramsey to attack the extractive of the large dollars of midfield, with Rogers who makes third place in the box, with Asensio descends. This could very well leave the central defenders of Preston without anyone to mark, the runners asked to hit the space behind and make them run. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ollie Watkins introduced at some point, to offer a focal point.
Where is the game? Well, Preston’s intentions are simple: to defend the deep and limit space in the middle of the field, with the two plants trying to disturb the central defenders most accustomed to signaling a man between then. They would also like to enter the space behind the full -backs of the villa, which will be asked to provide a large part of their team width.
It was not the largest of the international pauses for Rashford. Cut a break by Thomas Tuchel, who rightly appreciates its quality – and, you should imagine, its effectiveness of the bench – was unable to make the most of a call that did not really earn. But this in a new team has not yet settled in what the coach wants, while at Villa he will know exactly what is expected of him, and I would not be surprised at all if he was definitive this afternoon.
I suppose Villa will play Rashford from the left, with Asensio in the middle. Really, the first should have matured in an effective midfield, but his waiting game is not better now than when he broke like a chilling teenager. Perhaps Emery has the intelligence to train it to the player who should be, but in the meantime it is much more effective to get out of the side.
As for villa, Unai Emery leaves Maatsen, McGinn and Watkins out, with Digne, Ramsey and Asensio.
Paul Heckingbottom brings five changes to the site that beat Portsmouth 2-1 two weeks ago. Out exit the wounded wood, the Kesler-Harden not admissible, the doors tied to the Cup, Lindsay and suspended Ledson; In Come Cornell, Hughes, Storey, Brady and Whiteman.
I will write them So we will consider how things could take place.

Preamble
Football represents our connection with the past and the future, an eternal continuum that simultaneously teaches family history and the history of the world. And the stories that we have told ourselves, full sensory experiences with family grammar but idiosyncratic characteristics, allow us to remember things that we do not remember, part of something local and global, uniform and unique, personal and collective. Football makes us and our planet, it is larger than smaller.
There are few names in our game in a more moving way than that of Preston North EndChampions of the championship in the first two seasons of English football, twice winners of the England Cup and the Tom Finney club, Alex Dawson and Bill Shankly. But there have been about 60 years since the last of those who went on, the mediocrity of the championship their current Ennui – each of the last nine seasons saw them end between the seventh and the 14th, which seems to be where they sit at the time of writing.
Nor did the cups offer a lot of joy, which makes this, their first quarter -final since 1966, a game of resonance barely quantifiable. Of course, Villa are bad opponents, seven times winners but not since 1957 and without a trophy since 1996; It is likely that at some point this afternoon they move in the last four. Preston, however, and fans in the same way will see the story of their lives how to build at this moment and one blow once in immortality.
Football: 13.30 bst, baby
