Team News

Preston
Sheff Wed
  • Paul Heckingbottom may rotate to keep legs fresh on Sunday with Stefan Thordarson and Emil Riis both in contention for recalls.
  • Centre-back Liam Lindsay remains suspended for the Lilywhites, while Ched Evans is a doubt.
  • Di'Shon Bernard serves the second instalment of a two-match suspension at Deepdale this weekend.
  • Olaf Kobacki returned to the squad on Thursday, meaning Akin Famewo is Sheffield Wednesday's only injury concern for this fixture.

Prediction

  • Brad Potts' 60th-minute goal was all that separated Preston and Hull at the full-time whistle on Boxing Day as the Lilywhites secured a confidence-boosting victory on home soil.
  • Paul Heckingbottom's men are unbeaten in their last five Championship matches at Deepdale, but four of those results were stalemates.
  • Sheffield Wednesday were heading for a humiliating defeat against play-off chasing rivals Middlesbrough last time out after conceding three times in 30 minutes, but a fast start to the second half combined with a Rav van den Berg red card allowed the Owls to fight back and claim a point.
  • The visitors are now unbeaten in three league outings.
