England boss Roy Hodgson will join Gary Lineker in the Match of the Day studio when Preston host Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

It is the first time the two teams have met competitively in 43 years - and Hodgson will be at Deepdale on Monday, 16 February to offer his thoughts.
