Preston North End maybe struggling just one point above the relegation but they didn't struggle to kick out 1-4 Derby. Lawro said at BBC website (without knowing Liverpool's shock exit) that he expects Redknapp to go after the FA cup as there are not many big teams out there. Hello! Chelsea, United are still there and if Liverpool have done their deed, I really can't see how valid that argument could be..

Portsmouth got Defoe & Barros in an attempt to replace Benjani and fill the African Cup holes..Portsmouth are doing exceptionally well when playing away that is true, but that is on the Premier League..Here it is going to be another situation and without Defoe (has played for Spurs) & Nugent I can hardly see Portsmouth scoring..Kanu is too slow and Barros too predictable..Pamarot is missing from this one too..

Preston have managed to win against top Championship sides like Watford 1-0 and West Brom 2-1 so I reckon they have a good chance as they have nothin' to loose. Certainly not the easy afternoon for Pompey as many of you may imagine..Ok they are gonna miss Ledger but Mawene can cover efficiently plus Matt Hill is coming back to strengthen the squad as he missed the trip to Colchester on a paternity leave.

FA cup is all about the thrill of the unexpected..See what happened to Liverpool & Southampton yesterday? I'm backing the home side on this one..Preston on (any given) Sunday, come on lads!
