Preston boss Simon Grayson will be looking to upset the odds against Manchester United once again in their FA Cup fifth-round clash on Monday. Grayson led Leeds United to a stunning 1-0 victory at Old Trafford five years ago, becoming the first lower-league
opposition to beat Sir Alex Ferguson's side
in the third round.

Louis van Gaal's United have already beating League One opposition in Yeovil in this year's competition, but they struggled their way past League Two Cambridge after needing a replay to secure their place in the last 16.

Preston are right in the promotion mix, lying fourth in League One, and forward Paul Gallagher is the FA Cup's current top scorer with five goals.

They have already dumped out Championship Norwich and cup specialists Sheffield United, and Grayson's men go into Monday night's game full of confidence.

Team news

Jermaine Beckford, who scored the winner in Leeds' third-round victory at Old Trafford five years ago, will not have the chance to repeat his FA Cup heroics after being sidelined by an ear infection.

Top scorer Joe Garner will fancy his chances of stealing the limelight this time round after scoring two goals against Chesterfield in midweek on his first start since picking up a knee injury in November.

Striker Robin van Persie is a doubt for the visitors due to an unspecified injury. Left-back Luke Shaw returns from suspension, but centre-half Phil Jones is unlikely to play because of a knee injury he suffered against Burnley in midweek.

Daley Blind went off in the win over the Clarets with a head injury but he should be
fit for the game at Deepdale.

Fellow midfielder Michael Carrick is out with a calf injury, though.
