Match Facts
Swansea have lost four of their last six league games against Preston (W2), losing 2-1 earlier this season at Deepdale.
Preston North End are looking for their first league double over Swansea City since the 1933-34 campaign.
Swansea City are winless in their last six home league games (D3 L3), their worst run at Liberty Stadium since going seven without a win between April and August 2022.
Preston’s 5-1 defeat to Sunderland was the eighth time this year they have conceded four or more goals in a league game. It’s the most times they’ve done so in a calendar year since 1985 (also eight times), never doing so nine times in a single year in their history.
Preston’s Will Keane has scored in each of his last two league appearances – he hasn’t scored in three in a row since doing so in December 2021/January 2022 for Wigan Athletic in League One.
