Preston North End will visit Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday for their Championship fixture with Coventry City. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.

Coventry City, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 1-2 Championship victory over Sheffield Wednesday. It looks as if The Sky Blues look set to employ a 3-4-3 formation this time featuring Oliver Dovin, Joel Latibeaudiere, Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching, Milan van Ewijk, Josh Eccles, Matt Grimes, Jay Dasilva, B. Thomas-Asante, Ellis Simms and Jack Rudoni.

Ben Wilson, Haji Wright and Raphael Borges Rodrigues aren’t available for Coventry manager Frank Lampard.

How Coventry City might line up against Preston North End

In their previous fixture, Preston North End drew 0-0 in the Championship tie with Burnley. We’re of the thinking that The Lilywhites could decide to elect for a 3-4-2-1 system, giving starts to Freddie Woodman, Ryan Porteous, Lewis Gibson, Andrew Hughes, Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Brad Potts, Ryan Ledson, Jayden Meghoma, S. T. Thórdarson, M. Frøkjær-Jensen and Milutin Osmajic.

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom to be concerned about. Josh Seary (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
