The Lilywhites have started the campaign with a couple of goalless draws, collecting a point away at Wigan Athletic on the opening day before claiming another against Hull City at Deepdale at the weekend.

The Terriers, meanwhile, have been unable to put a single point on the board in their first two games of the season; kicking things off with a home defeat to Burnley before suffering a disappointing defeat at the hands of Birmingham City at St Andrews.
