Davies insists Preston capable of dumping Man Utd out of FA Cup

Preston North End striker Kevin Davies is determined for tomorrow night's FA Cup clash with Manchester United not to be his last.

Now 37, Davies sees no reason why this match should be an FA Cup last hurrah.

"I hope not," he said. "We're looking to get past Man United and get as far as we can. I've certainly put no date on me retiring.

"This is a game we can really enjoy and have a good go at. We know the priority is getting back into the Championship and hopefully go on from there because it's a great club with a lot of ambition.

"But we've worked hard to get here. The lads in the dressing room and the crowd have been after one of the big boys since I've been here and it's nice to have one visiting on Monday.

"We deserve to be on the same pitch as Manchester United and I'm sure that will give whoever's selected that extra 10, 15, 20 per cent, and we're already a good team.

"You see how much trouble Burnley caused them and we're capable of doing that. We've got players that can hurt them going forward and defenders willing to defend hard and put their bodies on the line.

"I really believe we have a good opportunity of getting through this tie."
