Team News

Preston
Derby
  • Milutin Osmajic has served his eight-match suspension and scored five goals in a youth match against Wigan during the international break, so expect him to return to the side in gameweek 16.
  • Will Keane and Liam Lindsay are both closing in on returns but remain doubtful for the game against Derby on Saturday.
  • Centre-back Eiran Cashin served a one-match suspension two weeks ago and will return to the starting XI for the trip to Deepdale.
  • Left-back Callum Elder and central midfielder David Ozoh are both doubtful for Derby this weekend.

Prediction

  • Preston attempted just six shots at Fratton Park in their last league outing as Paul Heckingbottom's men suffered a worrying 3-1 away defeat against a struggling Portsmouth side. The Lilywhites are winless in five Championship matches heading into this gameweek 16 fixture and are only above the relegation zone on goal difference.
  • Jerry Yates' stunning overhead kick wasn't enough to earn all three points for Derby two weeks ago as Adam Randell pegged them back and sealed a point for Plymouth. Away form is a concern for Paul Warne ahead of this fixture. His side have won just one of their first eight league fixtures on the road this season.
