Team News

Preston
Fulham
  • Preston boss Frankie McAvoy will look to name an unchanged starting XI when his side welcome league leaders Fulham to Deepdale this weekend.
  • The return to striker Ched Evans in midweek means that the Lilywhites have four confirmed absentees for Saturday's clash.
  • Club captain Tom Cairney and league top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic are struggling with illness, while Marek Rodak has contracted COVID-19.
  • Their absences will open up rare opportunities for second-choice 'keeper Paulo Gazzaniga and Brazilian striker Rodrigo Munoz.

Prediction

  • Preston were outshot 18-7 by Middlesbrough at the weekend, but attacking duo Ched Evans and Emil Riis netted within five minutes of each other to turn around a 1-0 deficit late on. The Lilywhites have lost just one of their last eight home league games.
  • Fulham had won seven Championship matches in a row before kickoff on Wednesday night, but the Cottagers couldn't breach the deadlock against 24th-placed Derby come the full-time whistle. Promotion rivals Bournemouth and West Brom also drew so nothing changed at the top end of the table.
