Team News

Preston
Middlesbrough
  • As long as there are no late fitness issues, Ryan Lowe is expected to name an unchanged starting XI for the visit of Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.
  • Kian Best and Duane Holmes are both confirmed absentees for the Lilywhites.
  • Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick could hand starts to Luke Thomas and Riley McGree when his side travel to Deepdale in midweek.
  • Matt Crooks is currently in talks over a move to an unnamed MLS club and will play no part on Wednesday night.

Prediction

  • Preston struck twice in the space of nine first-half minutes on Saturday as goals from Emil Riis and Ben Whiteman sealed a 2-0 away win against Cardiff. Back-to-back league wins will give Ryan Lowe's side confidence heading into gameweek 32, although the fact that the Lilywhites attempted just three shots on Saturday will be a cause for concern.
  • Middlesbrough found themselves trailing 2-0 inside the opening 20 minutes of their game against Bristol City at the weekend, and the Teessiders were also behind when the full-time whistle was blown. Michael Carrick's side are now winless in three ahead of their visit to Deepdale in midweek.
