Preston host promoted Leicester at Deepdale in a Championship clash.
Victory would see Preston climb up to ninth in the table, whilst Leicester will be crowned champions with a win.
Team News
Preston have no fresh injury concerns to report following their defeat at QPR.
Alistair McCann (thigh), Ben Whiteman (ankle) and Brad Potts (hamstring) remain sidelined.
Leicester have a fully-fit squad available for selection.
When is Kick-Off?
Preston host Leicester at Deepdale on Monday 29 April at 8pm BST, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Preston have lost three of their last seven league meetings against Leicester (W2, D2, L3).
- Leicester have avoided defeat in six Championship visits to Preston (W2, D4).
- Preston have kept just one clean sheet in six Championship games at home to Leicester, which came in a 0-0 draw in October 2005.
- Defeat would see Preston record four straight losses for the first time since November – December 2019.
- Leicester have lost each of their last three away matches by 1-0 results.
Prediction
Although this game is essentially a dead rubber, Preston have to view this as a chance to halt their recent three-match losing streak because only a small goalkeeping mistake cost them a draw at QPR despite looking second-best on the attack.
Leicester meanwhile have no pressure on them now promotion is confirmed but with an unbeaten away Championship record at Preston and title at stake, I don’t see them rolling over after having thrashed Southampton last time out.
Enzo Maresca’s Foxes also can achieve 100 points if they win their last two games so I can’t see them slipping up, especially against a team who have nothing to play for so this is about minimising their loss from a Preston perspective.
Prediction: Preston 0-2 Leicester
Result: Preston 0-3 Leicester
