Team News

Preston
Southampton
  • Ryan Lowe will likely make two changes in midweek with Alan Browne and Milutin Osmajic both returning to the starting XI.
  • Ched Evans returned to the bench for the game against Millwall, meaning Preston now have four injured players on their books.
  • Russell Martin will be without the suspended Ryan Manning on Wednesday night, so expect James Bree to make a rare start at right-back.
  • None of Southampton's injured trio are expected back in time for the clash with Preston.

Prediction

  • Preston scored within the opening three minutes of their early kick off against Millwall on Saturday but couldn't hold on for all three points against the managerless Lions. That stalemate did end a run of three straight league defeats but means that the Lilywhites are now winless in five ahead of the visit of Southampton.
  • Southampton were forced to wait until the fourth minute of injury time to find a winner against Hull on Saturday afternoon as Ryan Fraser's late strike proved enough to seal a 2-1 away win. Russell Martin is starting to restore some faith after a dismal run was followed up with 10 points from their last four league outings.
