Prediction

  • Preston created more chances than their hosts at the weekend, but solid defensive performances from both Birmingham and Frankie McAvoy's side led to a goalless draw in the Midlands. The Lilywhites are unbeaten in six league games, but have drawn their last four in a row.
  • Stoke were in total control of their game against Hull City at the weekend with goals from midfielders Nick Powell and Mario Vrancic rounding out a 2-0 victory on home turf. The Potters are sat in fifth place as things stand but are looking to avenge back-to-back away league defeats.
