Team News

Preston
Sunderland
  • Paul Heckingbottom could make a change to keep legs fresh here with Duane Holmes replacing Mads Frokjaer-Jensen in midfield.
  • Robbie Brady is among four injured Preston players, while Milutin Osmajic continues to serve a lengthy suspension.
  • Jobe Bellingham will be absent through suspension on Wednesday night, but Regis Le Bris expects to have Chris Rigg back available.
  • Dan Ballard and Anthony Patterson are both doubtful for the trip to Deepdale after missing Saturday's clash with QPR.

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.
