Preston have won just one of their last 15 meetings with Chelsea in all competitions (D5 L9), a 1-0 home win in the second tier in February 1981.
Chelsea have progressed from their last 18 FA Cup ties against sides from a lower division, since losing 4-2 to Bradford City in 2014-15.
Preston have lost nine of their last 11 FA Cup matches (L2), while against top-flight clubs they’ve lost 17 of their last 18 in the competition, beating Derby 4-1 in January 2008 in the other.
