Team News

Preston
Luton
  • It remains to be seen how Paul Heckingbottom will set up his Preston side, although they could return to a familiar 3-4-2-1 system for his first game in charge.
  • Midfield duo Ali McCann and Layton Stewart are the Lilywhites' only confirmed absentees ahead of the visit of Luton.
  • Goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski is suspended following his red card against Portsmouth, so expect James Shea to start in between the sticks here.
  • Elsewhere, Amari'i Bell could drop to the bench with former Reading centre-back Tom Holmes making his full league debut.

Prediction

  • Paul Heckingbottom will take charge of Preston on Saturday, making him the club's third manager in as many games this season.
  • The former Sheffield United boss faces a mammoth task to keep the Lilywhites in the division following back-to-back losses to start the campaign.
  • Two reckless moments from goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski left Luton with a mountain to climb at Fratton Park last weekend, but a strong defensive display allowed the ten-man Hatters to close out a goalless draw against Portsmouth.
  • This has been a less-than-ideal start to the year for Rob Edwards' side, who will be praying for a win against Preston.
