Preston vs Charlton

Preston North End have progressed from the third round of the FA Cup for the second time in the last three seasons, after doing so just once in the seven seasons before that.

Charlton Athletic have lost each of their last five FA Cup third round ties, last reaching the fourth round of the competition back in 2013-14.

Milutin Osmajic has been directly involved in nine goals in his last eight starts for Preston North End in all competitions (8 goals, 1 assist).

This is the first FA Cup meeting between Preston and Charlton since January 1966, with the Lilywhites winning a third round tie 3-2 at the Valley.

Preston have won each of their last four meetings with Charlton in all competitions, most recently a 2-1 Championship home win in January 2020.

Since their last promotion to the Championship ahead of 2015-16, Preston have lost seven of their nine FA Cup third round ties, with the exceptions coming in 2017-18 (5-1 v Wycombe) and 2022-23 (3-1 v Huddersfield).

Charlton have lost each of their last four FA Cup third round ties, last reaching the fourth round of the competition back in 2013-14.

Charlton have scored at least four goals in three of their last four away matches in the FA Cup, including both so far this season. It’s as many times as they’d scored 4+ in their previous 73 on the road in the competition.
