Preston North End, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Hull City in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Preston North End last time out. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Hull City managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Ryan Lowe will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 5 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 16 of their 18 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from The Lilywhites, although undefeated in their last 5 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
When home matches come round at Deepdale, Will Keane will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Preston North End's last 6 home league matches.
Stoke City, Recent FormLosing 1-0 away to Leeds United won't leave the Stoke City squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 19 places above them in the league. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Leeds United who had 15 attempts and 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Steven Schumacher will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
Lynden Gooch has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Preston North End.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Preston North End came out on top, winning the match 0-2.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, The Potters have been unable to break through Preston's defence and find the back of the net. From their past 5 away matches in the league against Preston, The Potters have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. The Stoke defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Lilywhites in the league, with Stoke conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Preston has won the last 2 games they've played against Stoke in the league.
With only Kian Best (Ankle) and Brad Potts (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Luke McNally (Thigh) and Enda Stevens (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steven Schumacher will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
