We're back under way at Deepdale and I've turned the heating back on as my hands were getting so cold it was difficult to type..

Hopefully this second half will warm me up!

Tim Ream's strike has the Championship leaders in front at the break.

On the verge of half-time, Antonee Robinson looks to play Aleksandar Mitrovic in but Preston put a late block in.

Fulham lead at half-time, but Preston are arguably on top going into the second half.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has looked a little off the pace for Fulham so far today.

The Serbian was absent in midweek with an illness as the Whites drew 0-0 with Derby so I can understand Marco Silva wanting to stick his 21-goal man straight back in.

As we approach the half-time whistle, this game has turned on its head somewhat.

Preston are continuing to have much of the ball and look unfazed against what is a formidable Fulham side.

Sepp van den Berg puts in a stunning low ball which evades Tim Ream and goes through to Emil Riis but his low delivery goes into empty space.

Emil Riis once again proves to be a handful for the Fulham defence and he tries to weave his way into the box.

But Denis Odoi once again gets the decisive block in to thwart his efforts.

Much better from the hosts.

Ben Whiteman is the latest Preston player to try his luck at working an equaliser for the hosts.

He works onto Alan Browne's lay-off and fires towards goal from outside the box but it's off target.

Fulham living dangerously at the moment.

Preston make a dart upfield as they look to break on the counter and force an equaliser.

Tom Barkhuizen can't quite get a shot in time into the box and the hosts eventually put it across goal and out for a goal kick.

But they keep going and Emil Riis works back into the box but he scuffs a low shot wide of the mark.

Aleksandar Mitrovic goes for goal from the free-kick and cannons it off the Preston wall.

Fulham have another bite of the cherry from the rebound but it goes out for a goal kick.

Preston live to fight another day.

Antonee Robinson has had a pretty decent game for Fulham so far and his latest run into the Preston half of the field sees him cynically brought down by Sepp van den Berg.

He goes into the book for his troubles and Fulham win a free-kick in a dangerous area just outside the box.

Blackburn Lad: Sorry guys but for me the top match of the day is Stoke v Blackburn, we're currently on a run (ok so we won our last match) and a win would put us into the play-off places, fingers etc... crossed.

What, a Blackburn fan suggesting a Preston game doesn't get top billing? On Lancashire day of all days...

Denis Odoi is on hand to cover for Fulham as Preston try to make a move into the visitors' box.

Preston looking like they have more of an answer to Fulham's dominance right now.

What have Preston got in response to that Fulham opener? Well, so far, not a lot.

The visitors have continued to dominate the possession and can't get a look in at the moment.

So far, as we approach the 15-minute mark, Fulham's talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic has been pretty anonymous.

The visitors will be hoping to get him some service as they continue to take the game to Preston, although their latest corner is once again dealt with by the hosts.

Fulham win another corner but can they make an early breakthrough this time?

The answer to that question is no. Liam Lindsay gets a head onto it and puts the ball out of danger as Preston once again defend.

Ben Whiteman stands over a Preston free-kick in a dangerous area and he curls it towards the Fulham goal.

His strike is easily dealt with by visiting goalkeeper Marek Rodak, however.

Emil Riis catches Tosin Adarabioyo out as he disposesses him following a pass back to the Fulham man.

Riis tries to beat him as he scrambles back to defend but Adarabioyo gets a block in for a corner before he can strike.

The corner that follows is well dealt with by the visitors but that could have been the breakthrough for Preston.

Fulham win a corner which is sent into the box, but it flies over those at the near post.

Tosin Adarabioyo tries to work a header goalbounds but his effort goes well wide of the mark.

Fulham have had the majority of the ball in the opening stages of this one and at the minute they're content to string passes together across the pitch.

Antonee Robinson gets the first Fulham ball into the Preston box but Alan Browne gets the ball out of danger before Aleksandar Mitrovic can get onto it.
