Preston North End host Luton Town at Deepdale on Wednesday in another round of the EFL football championship.
The home team has been on a rough patch in recent weeks, falling behind in the promotion race. They were beaten 3-0 by league leaders Burnley in their last league outing and could have no complaints after a toothless display that saw them attempt just five shots throughout the game.
Preston North End are 12th in the league table with 40 points from 30 games. They will be looking to dump their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.
Meanwhile, Luton have had mixed results this season, but are well on their way to securing back-to-back playoff appearances. They were drawn 1-1 by 10-man Coventry City in their last game and perhaps deserved more of the game as they created good chances but couldn’t convert them.
