The English Championship returns this week and will see Preston North End host Huddersfield Town at Deepdale on Wednesday.
Preston North End have had encouraging results under new manager Ryan Lowe. They beat Hull City 1-0 in their last game, with Cameron Archer scoring the sole goal of the game, his second for the club since he joined on loan from West Ham last month.
The home side sit 11th in the league table with 41 points from 30 games. They will now be looking to pick up back-to-back league wins when they play on Wednesday.

The visitors sit fifth in the Championship standings with 48 points from 30 games. They will be looking to continue their strong form when they play this week as they target a return to the top-flight after a three-season absence.
