Preston boss Grayson hopes for Wenger chat

Preston North End boss Simon Grayson hopes to speak with Arsene Wenger after their FA Cup tie with Arsenal.

Grayson twice came up against Arsenal while at Leeds and admitted he probably outstayed his welcome when talking to the Frenchman over a glass of wine.

He said: "I've always been one who wants to go and see managers after the game because you want to pick their brains. I'm sure he'll come into our office and sample our scampi, chicken and pies!

"There will be a bit of red or white wine, too. My staff went in at the Emirates and we spent 15-20 minutes talking about their training schedules, routines of the week and how they deal with certain situations.

"He probably got fed up with us asking questions."
