Simon Grayson earmarks promotion after Sheffield United win

Preston boss Simon Grayson hopes that his troops' FA Cup win over Sheffield United will act as a platform on which a promotion-winning season can be built.

Simon Grayson is hopeful that Preston North End's 3-1 FA Cup win away to Sheffield United tonight can "galvanise" his troops in their promotion push.

Second-half goals from Paul Gallagher and Paul Huntingdon at Bramall Lane saw Preston set up a clash with Manchester United in the fifth round.

The Lilywhites sit fourth in League One, eight points off automatic promotion, but Grayson says that beating the Blades will reinvigorate his side's quest to the Championship.

"We hope this can galvanise us and give us a boost for the rest of the season and now we are really looking to kick on and achieve our main objective, which is promotion," he told Sky Sports News.

United also won their fourth-round replay with a 3-0 victory over Cambridge United at Old Trafford.
