ℹ️ Team News: Preston North End
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Finlay Cross-Adair (traffic accident) misses out.
It’s our opinion that The Lilywhites could kick off with a 3-4-3 formation for this game, utilising Freddie Woodman, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Andrew Hughes, Alan Browne, Ben Whiteman, Alistair McCann, Liam Millar, Will Keane, M. Frøkjær-Jensen and Emil Riis Jakobsen.
ℹ️ Team News: Stoke City
Stoke City boss Steven Schumacher has to currently contend with reduced team options. Frank Fielding (unknown injury) and Enda Stevens (Calf injury) are not ready for selection.
We are inclined to think that The Potters will likely make use of a 4-3-3 system by sending out Daniel Iversen, Ki-Jana Hoever, Michael Rose, Ben Wilmot, Lynden Gooch, Josh Laurent, Wouter Burger, Lewis Baker, André Vidigal, Joon-ho Bae and Tyrese Campbell.
⚡ Prediction
Our feeling is that Stoke City might well have a job on their hands to break down this Preston North End team who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
That’s why we have predicted a 1-0 victory for Preston North End at the end of this game.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
