West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 away win against Bristol City. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Bristol City's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Carlos Corberán will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
On an individual basis, Brandon Thomas-Asante will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in West Bromwich Albion's last 6 league games.
Preston North End, Recent FormAny Preston North End pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by Huddersfield Town. They came away from that fixture with a 46% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Huddersfield Town, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Ryan Lowe will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.
Ched Evans will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Preston North End.
It was one to forget for West Bromwich Albion last time they met Preston North End in the league, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
The last 3 matches between West Brom and The Lilywhites show that West Brom have let in at least one goal on each occasion. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, West Brom have failed to score a single goal against The Lilywhites.
West Brom have lost the last 2 times they've faced Preston in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Emil Riis has scored in each of Preston's last 0 league games against West Brom.
There is only really one injury concern for the West Brom manager Carlos Corberán ahead of this clash, with Kyle Bartley (Muscle) missing out, which gives Corberán a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Robbie Brady (Muscle) and Troy Parrott (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
