We say: Preston North End 0-2 Aston Villa
Momentum can be lost straight after a two-week hiatus, but a near full-strength Villa side will surely make light work of a Preston outfit ruing injuries, suspensions and ineligible players. The hosts' 5-2-1-2 shape could frustrate Emery's side for a short while, but the visitors will surely break through eventually, and gaps should open up for the Lions to put the quarter-final out of sight as Preston search in vain for a response.
