Preston North End hope to get back to winning ways on Saturday as they host Coventry City at Deepdale in the EFL Championship.
The Lilywhites suffered defeat last time out against Hull City, losing 1-0 at the MKM Stadium. Saturday's opponents Coventry were also dealt the same fate, as they lost two days later to West Bromwich Albion in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Preston go into the game, therefore, with a few more days of rest than their opponents.
A total of 11 places separate the two teams going into this one, with North End in ninth and the Sky Blues in 20th. Coventry have had a slow start to the season and are just a point outside the relegation zone, whereas Preston are just a point off of the play-offs with Cardiff City occupying sixth place.
PNE have a fairly good record against Coventry; you have to go back to January 2013 for the last time they beat North End. And even that was in the EFL Trophy. The Sky Blues’ last league win against North End came in September 2007.
Without further ado, check to see the latest team news from both camps. Flick through to see who's ruled out and who's doubtful for the Championship clash, with some reasoning as to why they're missing, including quotes from managers.
