Championship 10-game form: How Preston North End compare to Cardiff City, Derby County and league rivals
PNE's last result was a 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday
Preston North End’s aim in the Championship is clear over the festive period - to turn draws into wins.
The Lilywhites have shared the spoils in their last four matches, and have drawn the second most games (10) in the division - which West Bromwich Albion better by one, at the time of writing.
Manager Paul Heckingbottom is firmly of the belief his side’s performances ought to have yielded more points, while some contentious decisions have gone against PNE in matches.
But, the table is the table and Preston will need to pick up wins far more regularly, if they are to pull away from the wrong end. It’s a midweek trip to Cardiff City up next, before Leeds United at home.
