Team News

Preston
Watford
  • Sam Greenwood should return to the starting XI after serving his suspension at the weekend, while Kaine Kesler-Hayden could earn a start at right-back.
  • Paul Heckingbottom has no injuries to contend with in gameweek eight.
  • Tom Cleverley could hand a start to Daniel Jebbison with Vakoun Bayo dropping to the bench for the trip to Deepdale in midweek.
  • Wing-back Ryan Andrews is a doubt after missing the game against Sunderland, while four players have been ruled out of Wednesday night's clash.

Prediction

  • Jordan Storey's late goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation last weekend as Preston were beaten 3-1 on the road in south London by an inconsistent Millwall side. After a win in his first game in charge, Paul Heckingbottom's side are now winless in their last four league matches.
  • Tom Dele-Bashiru converted from the spot late on against Sunderland as Watford claimed an unexpected 2-1 win at Vicarage Road in gameweek seven. The Hornets now travel to Deepdale looking to end a run of back-to-back away defeats in the Championship.
