THE PREDICTION
A tense Lancashire derby awaits at Deepdale with just a point separating the two sides in the table. Preston finally picked up their first home Championship victory of the season at the weekend with a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday. Local rivals Blackburn took a point home from Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, but injuries continue to stunt their progress having picked up just one win from their last five league games. As with many local derbies, this is expected to be a tense affair and with little to choose between the two sides in the league, they may each have to settle for a draw in this one which wouldn’t be the end of the world for either team.
