Kaine Kesler-Hayden will miss the FA Cup tie between Preston and Villa, but his manager Paul Heckingbottom would love for him to be playing

The celebrations at full-time and the overwhelming sense of relief on the faces of Aston Villa’s players is a sign of just how far this team has fallen.

A second-half burst from Aston Villa toppled a spirited Preston North End on Sunday afternoon as Unai Emery's Premier League visitors eventually eased to a 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory. The only Championship team which made it into the last eight of the FA Cup were also hampered by an injury crisis running throughout the squad.

Preston are hard to beat at home and have not lost at Deepdale since 2 November, a run of 15 games. I have seen quite a bit of Paul Heckingbottom's team this season and they will defend deep, set up in a 3-5-2 shape and make themselves hard to break down.
