David Prutton predicts 'rare' result in Preston vs Sheffield Wednesday clash as Pulis prepares to make Owls bow
David Prutton has forecast a “rare” stalemate when Preston North End host Sheffield Wednesday this weekend.

Saturday afternoon’s clash at Deepdale will be Tony Pulis’ first in charge of the Owls following his appointment last week, and he’ll be looking to build on the four points that his new squad have taken from their last two outings.
As for Preston, they’ve lost three of their last five, and are yet to win a home game this season.
That disappointing form of late leaves Alex Neil’s men 13th in the Championship table, equidistant from the play-off places and the relegation zone.
And Prutton believes that their wait for victory on home turf will go on for a while longer.
