Team News

Preston
Leeds
  • Ryan Lowe will be without Robbie Brady on Boxing Day after he suffered an injury during the 2-1 defeat against Swansea.
  • Expect Liam Millar to replace him on the left on Tuesday afternoon, while Milutin Osmajic could also return to the starting XI.
  • Daniel Farke could make two changes in midweek as he looks to keep legs fresh with Junior Firpo and Willy Gnonto returning to the starting XI.
  • Left-back Firpo returned to the squad on Saturday, so Leeds have three confirmed absentees for the clash with Preston.

Prediction

  • Preston were denied a valuable point from their trip to the Swansea.com Stadium on Friday night after Jamie Paterson notched the Swans ahead in the fourth minute of injury time. Ryan Lowe is quickly losing the backing of supporters, and this will be another tough test following three consecutive league defeats at Deepdale.
  • Leeds made a show-stopping statement on Saturday afternoon when they hammered second-placed Ipswich 4-0 at Elland Road after scoring four times before the hour mark. That result means that the gap to the automatic promotion places has been trimmed to seven points as the Whites travel to Deepdale.
