Preston North End will host Swansea City at Deepdale on Tuesday (November 1) night in the Championship.
The hosts have had mixed results this season but remain in pursuit of the playoff spots. Preston returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 2-1 comeback win over struggling Middlesbrough, Emil Riis Jacobsen scored the leveler just after the half-hour mark before Jordan Storey headed home a stoppage time winner. Preston are tenth in the standings with 25 points from 18 games.
Swansea, meanwhile, endured a sluggish start to their league campaign but have hit a good run of form recently. They played out a 1-1 draw against Bristol City on Saturday, with Olivier Ntcham coming off the bench to score a stunning 76th-minute equaliser.
The visitors are sixth in the standings and are three points above their midweek opposition.
