Match Facts
Preston have won their last three home league games against Middlesbrough – they’ve never won four home matches in a row against them.
Middlesbrough are looking to complete a league double over Preston North End for the first time since the 1973-74 campaign, with Jack Charlton leading Boro to two wins over brother Bobby’s Preston side that season.
After winning their opening four league games at Deepdale this season, Preston have won only four of their last 11 such games there (D2 L5), though have won three of their last four there (L1).
Middlesbrough have won three of their last four away league games (L1), as many as in their previous 14 such games (D3 L8), and could win three in a row for the first time since last October.
Will Keane has scored in each of his last three league games for Preston at Deepdale (5 goals in total), with both his Championship goals against Middlesbrough coming in home games for Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan.
