The best and worst Preston North End players in the Championship this season - according to data experts

PNE survived a late-season scare to avoid relegation on the final day.

The curtain came down on the Lilywhites’ campaign last Saturday as they battled out a 2-2 draw against Bristol City. The point at Ashton Gate sealed their survival and finished one point above the bottom three in 20th.

It was a disappointing end to the season for Paul Heckingbottom’s men, who won just one of their remaining 15 games.

Despite this, there were a number of impressive individual performances, with Aston Villa loanee Kaine Kesler-Hayden completing a clean sweep at North End’s awards evening.
