Today's FA Cup match between Chelsea and Preston North End is part of the 143rd edition of the world's oldest cup competition. Last season, Manchester City secured their seventh victory in the tournament, as part of their treble success. While traditional powerhouses like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal are expected to be strong contenders, teams like Newcastle, Tottenham, and Chelsea, who have not won a domestic trophy in over five years, will be looking to make a mark in the competition.

The FA Cup is a competition that welcomes teams from all levels, from non-league to EFL sides in the lower leagues, providing everyone with an opportunity to compete for glory and face off against some of the best teams in the country. Premier League clubs enter the competition in the third round, but the magic of the FA Cup lies in the potential for underdogs to upset the odds and make a name for themselves.
