Prediction

  • Preston restricted Bristol City to just five shots on Saturday but conceded three goals as Paul Heckingbottom watched over a 3-1 home defeat. The Lilywhites are now winless in three Championship matches and sit just two points clear of 22nd-placed Plymouth heading into this tricky gameweek 14 clash.
  • Sunderland were reduced to 10 men on Saturday afternoon after Jobe Bellingham was sent off, but a strong defensive showing helped the Black Cats escape Loftus Road with a point. That result means that the visitors' lead at the top of the standings has been trimmed to three points, although they are now unbeaten in six league outings.
