The Championship tie at Deepdale on Saturday sees home side Preston North End lock horns with Southampton, and we have the latest player updates plus predicted line ups available.
Preston North End, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-3 Championship victory versus Sheffield United. We are thinking that The Lilywhites could go for a 3-5-2 formation for this one with Daniel Iversen, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Pol Valentin, Thierry Small, Andy Moran, Alfie Devine, Jordan Thompson, Andrija Vukcevic, Daniel Jebbison and Lewis Dobbin.
Theo Carroll, Callum Lang, Jamal Lewis and Robbie Brady won’t be available for Preston gaffer Paul Heckingbottom.
How Preston North End might line up to play Southampton
In their previous game, Southampton drew 2-2 in the Championship match with Ipswich Town. It’s our belief that The Saints seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system using Daniel Peretz, James Bree, T. Harwood-Bellis, Nathan Wood, Ryan Manning, Shea Charles, Caspar Jander, Tom Fellows, Finn Azaz, Léo Scienza and Cyle Larin.
S'hampton boss Tonda Eckert has to choose a team with limited availability. Alex McCarthy (Wrist injury) and Mads Roerslev (Knee injury) are not able to play.
