Preston North End to face Huddersfield Town in the third round of the FA Cup

The fixture will take place at Deepdale on the weekend of January 7.

Ryan Lowe will be hoping to guide the club to the fourth round for the first time since 2018.

Huddersfield currently sit bottom of the Championship table, 12 points behind North End, who are in ninth.

The Yorkshire club are currently led by former Fulham midfielder Mark Fotheringham, replacing Danny Schofield back in September.

Despite this being his first managerial role, he has picked coaching experience in Germany, most recently working alongside Felix Magath at Hertha Berlin.

The FA Cup meeting featuring the sides will come two weeks after a Boxing Day clash between the two at the John Smith’s Stadium (K.O. 3pm).
