Preston North End will host Luton Town at Deepdale on Wednesday in another round of EFL Championship football.

The home side have hit a difficult run of form in recent weeks, consequently falling behind in the race for promotion. They were beaten 3-0 by league leaders Burnley in their last league outing and could have no complaints after a toothless display that saw them attempt just five shots throughout the game.

Preston North End sit 12th in the league table with 40 points from 30 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.

Luton, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season but are well on course to secure back-to-back playoff appearances. They were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Coventry City in their last game and perhaps deserved more from the game as they created good chances but failed to convert them.
