Team News

Preston
Sheff Wed
  • Ryan Lowe could make a single change for this Friday night clash with Ched Evans replacing Milutin Osmajic up top.
  • Emil Riis and Robbie Brady are both confirmed absentees for the Lilywhites.
  • Danny Röhl will be without suspended centre-back Bambo Diaby on Friday so Michael Ihiekwe will make his return.
  • Callum Paterson is set to miss out after suffering a head injury against Coventry so Anthony Musaba is likely to start out wide in his place.

Prediction

  • Preston showed some impressive in-game management to secure all three points against automatic promotion hopefuls Leeds on Boxing Day after goalkeeper Illan Meslier was shown a straight red card for shoving Milutin Osmajic.
  • That result ended a run of three straight home defeats for Ryan Lowe's men.
  • Sheffield Wednesday were unable to produce a response to Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's brace on Tuesday afternoon as the Owls were condemned to a straightforward 2-0 defeat on their travels.
  • The wind has blown out of Danny Röhl's side's sails of late and a win for relegation rivals Huddersfield leaves the visitors nine points adrift from safety.
