North End head into the game unbeaten in the league and yet to concede a goal – their opposition however are also unbeaten and boast a better record.
PNE have drawn three and won one, drawing 0-0 with Rotherham United in midweek, with Watford winning two and drawing two, last drawing with Birmingham City.
Here’s how we think Preston manager Ryan Lowe will line up this weekend...
1. GK: Freddie Woodman
With four clean sheets in a row, and even playing in the cup, Freddie Woodman will be the man to be in goal at the weekend. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
2. CB: Jordan Storey
If it's not broke, do not fix it. The North End defence have been excellent so far and should not be disrupted. Photo: CameraSport -
3. CB: Liam Lindsay
Arguably North End's best defender so far this season, Lindsay should remain at the heart of the defence. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. CB: Andrew Hughes
