Burnley
Burnley manager Scott Parker acknowledged that winning promotion back to the Premier League was his main aim this season, with the Clarets currently third in the Championship, just two points outside the top two.
But he is eyeing his side’s fifth-round FA Cup tie at local league rivals Preston as an “opportunity”, with the winners just one victory away from a showpiece semi-final at Wembley.
“The league is fundamentally our priority this year but it is a competition we want to do extremely well in and we have got an opportunity,” said Parker.
“We are against good opposition but it we can get through this round then that takes us into the realms of maybe seeing something [extraordinary].
“So we will go there are strong as we can. We want to get through this round with a good performance and stay in this competition as long as we can.”
