FA Cup Quarter-Final: Preston North End v Aston Villa

Simon Grayson, the former manager of both Preston North End and Aston Villa, is in Nepal, managing Lalitpur City in the Nepal Super League, as his two former clubs compete in the FA Cup quarter-final. The game between Preston and Aston Villa takes place at Deepdale on Sunday, 30 March, with a 13:30 BST kick-off. While Grayson's heart is with Preston, he acknowledges his time at Villa was also memorable. Aston Villa face Paris St-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final next month, but Grayson believes they could also win the FA Cup this season.
