Preston North End sits 14th in the Championship with 47 points. Despite a 21 win over Portsmouth before the international break, they have suffered backtoback defeats, including a 50 aggregate loss in their last two matches.
However, Preston has been solid at home, losing just twice in 19 league games at Deepdale, and will be eager to bounce back with a crucial win.

Stoke City is in 18th place with 42 points, struggling with 13 losses in 23 away matches this season. While they have been decent at home, their poor away form has hurt their chances of climbing the table.
Their head-to-head record against Preston is balanced, with three wins in their last six meetings, but they face a tough test against a home side desperate to return to winning ways.
