Pick of the stats - Preston North End v Leeds United
- Published
Preston welcome Leeds United to Deepdale on Saturday after picking up their first win in 11 games when they beat Cardiff 2-0 on Wednesday night.
The Whites also picked up three points in midweek in their 3-1 win over Middlesbrough at Elland Road.
Victory for Paul Heckingbottom's side could put further daylight between themselves and the relegation zone, while Leeds are looking to continue their push for automatic promotion.
Preston North End have won just two of their past 13 league games against Leeds United (D4 L7), though both victories during that time have come at Deepdale including a 2-1 success last season.
Leeds United will be looking to avoid losing successive away league games against Preston North End for the first time since October 2006 under Dennis Wise.
Five of Preston's past eight league games at Deepdale have ended in a draw (W2 L1), including each of their previous three matches.
Leeds have lost two of their past three away league games (W1), as many as in their previous 16 such games (W8 D6).
Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom has won both previous home games in the EFL against sides he's previously managed, beating Barnsley 2-1 with Leeds in April 2018 and the Tykes against with Sheffield United in March 2022 2-0.
