Team News

Preston
Birmingham
  • Ryan Lowe could make two changes in midweek to keep legs fresh with midfield duo Ben Whiteman and Mads Frokjaer-Jensen returning to the starting XI.
  • Will Keane is nearing a return from a minor injury and has an outside chance of featuring on Tuesday night.
  • With Lee Buchanan suspended, John Eustace could recall Emmanuel Longelo at left-back on Tuesday night.
  • Koji Miyoshi is also in line for a recall further up the pitch.
  • Tyler Roberts and Siriki Dembele are both doubtful for the midweek trip to Deepdale.

Prediction

  • Duane Holmes handed Preston the lead inside the opening minute on Saturday as the Lilywhites kept their incredible start to the season going with a 2-1 win at home against League One champions Plymouth. Ryan Lowe's side sit top of the Championship table after six games with 16 points to their name and just four goals conceded.
  • A late Lee Buchanan red card proved costly for Birmingham at the weekend. The Blues conceded twice after the 90th minute as Watford pulled off a smash-and-grab win at Vicarage Road. That defeat ended the away side's unbeaten start to the season with John Eustace's men dropping to sixth in the standings heading into gameweek seven.
