Team News

Preston
Fulham
  • Sean Maguire was deemed not fit enough to start in midweek against Bristol City, but came off the bench to score the winner. The Irishman will be in contention for a start here.
  • Club captain Tom Clarke remains the only injury concern for the hosts as Alex Neil prepares to name an elsewhere unchanged starting XI.
  • Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has a clean bill of health as his side travel to Deepdale on Saturday.
  • The visitors could name an unchanged starting XI, although Tomas Kalas will be hoping to beat Denis Odoi to a start at centre-back.

Prediction

  • Preston's 2-1 win over Bristol City could just be their most important win of the season so far. The Lilywhites trail Middlesbrough by just a single point heading into the weekend and could climb into the top six with a win.
  • The visitors are the form side in the division at the moment, having won 11 and drawn three of their last 14 league games. The Whites have won nine in a row at home and if they can replicate that form on the road they've got a good shot at closing the five-point gap on Cardiff.
  • Fulham will be favourites in every game they head into while they're in this vein of form, so expect another away victory here. That said, Slavisa Jokanovic will be wary of the attacking threat Preston pose.
