We'll have all the build up and actiont throughout the evening so make sure to refresh the page (F5) so you don't miss a thing!

Frankie McAvoy has his eye on three points tonight as draw specialists Preston North End host Stoke at Deepdale.

McAvoy has a positive view of the run of four successive draws in the league which helps form PNE’s eight-game unbeaten sequence.

But turning the single points into three will help get them moving up the table.

North End head coach McAvoy said: “It’s four draws now, three of them away.

“If you spread that over a bit of time you can say that is not too bad – winning at home and drawing away is a good recipe to have.

“At the moment it is four games we haven’t won if you take a pessimistic view.”

PNE Subs: Lindsay, Browne, McCann, Sinclair, Potts, Murphy, Rudd.

Just one change from the draw with Birmingham for PNE, Greg Cunningham comes in for Andrew Hughes who misses out through injury.

We’re underway at Deepdale!
