Preston North End face off with visiting side QPR at Deepdale in their Championship clash on Monday. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.

Preston North End will play in this fixture following on from a 2-2 Championship drawn match vs Leicester City. We think that The Lilywhites will possibly opt for a 3-1-4-2 formation featuring Daniel Iversen, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Andrew Hughes, Ben Whiteman, Pol Valentin, Alfie Devine, Andy Moran, Thierry Small, Milutin Osmajic and Lewis Dobbin.

Theo Carroll, Jamal Lewis and Robbie Brady will be missing for Preston gaffer Paul Heckingbottom.

How Preston North End could look for the game against QPR

QPR go into this encounter following a 2-1 Championship win with the defeat of Watford in their last fixture. We’re of the thinking that The R's could decide to begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Joe Walsh, Amadou Mbengue, Jimmy Dunne, Ronnie Edwards, R. Norrington-Davies, Harvey Vale, Kieran Morgan, Jonathan Varane, Paul Smyth, Rayan Kolli and Richard Kone.

QPR boss Julien Stéphan has to currently contend with reduced team options. Jake Clarke-Salter (Hip injury), Ziyad Larkeche (Cruciate ligament injury) and Justin Obikwu (Shin injury) won’t be making appearances.
