Prediction

  • Stoke were forced to settle for a point against Championship basement boys QPR at the weekend after a Ben Gibson own goal put the London club back on level terms. After a shaky start to life in the dugout, Narcis Pelach has overseen a four-match unbeaten run that has lifted the Potters into the top half.
  • Preston were ahead for just six minutes on Saturday afternoon as Jerry Yates cancelled out Sam Greenwood's 23rd-minute goal in a 1-1 draw at Deepdale. Paul Heckingbottom's side now travel to the bet365 Stadium looking to end a run of six Championship matches without a victory.
