Tottenham's hopes of achieving silverware this season will take either a significant step forward or step backwards today as they face Preston North End in the FA Cup fourth round. Spurs put back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Manchester City behind them with a narrow victory over Fulham on Monday evening.
Away from the pitch, Antonio Conte's future continues to draw speculation with concerns still hanging over the Lilywhites' form this month. However, the club now have a chance to put together a cup run that could save current perceptions of their campaign.
Heading into the game, Tottenham have completed the loan signing of Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal, who could make his debut against Preston, and are closing in on the signing of Pedro Porro from Sporting CP. The return of Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have boosted Spurs, but Conte is still missing a few players from his squad.
