HOPES are high that Preston North End will get one of the Premiership's big guns in the next round of the Worthington Cup.
Last night's 2-0 victory over Birmingham City put Preston in the last 16 of the trophy, along with the likes of Manchester United.
And manager Craig Brown said: "We have already beaten one Premiership side and I hope we get another one in the next round.
"I don't care who it is, but I hope they wear red jerseys, maybe from London or Manchester."
In recent years, North End have played Chelsea, Arsenal - twice - and Everton in various trophies, and despite giving sides a scare, have failed to come away victorious.
