Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Wigan Athletic in their last league encounter. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Wigan Athletic, who had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Ryan Lowe will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Deepdale recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Sunderland. In that game they recorded 29 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 13 shots on goal.
Manager Mark Robins will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 8 goals. 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. With 15 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Viktor Gyökeres has scored in each of Coventry City's last league game.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Coventry City who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Preston North End.
Preston will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 16 encounters with The Sky Blues. In their past 5 meetings, The Lilywhites' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Coventry will have to take their chances when they come.
Playing at home, Preston have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 15 times they have faced Coventry in the league.
With only Andrew Hughes (Groin) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Mark Robins has a number of injury concerns in his Coventry squad to contend with: Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Ben Sheaf (Calf) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon)
