The faltering Preston North End face a tricky game against Bristol City as they look to revive their season. This Championship matchday 27 will be played at the Deepdale stadium on Saturday. The hosts start the round in 14th position with 35 points while the visitors are 11th with 36 points. Preston are five points behind top-six sides as per the table standings, but that only tells half the story. The hosts are coming off a 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup, which was their third in a row in all competitions. Just in the Championship, the hosts have lost seven of their last ten league games winning just two. Even at home, they have been beaten on four of their last five league games.

Bristol City held West Ham to a 1-1 draw forcing a FA Cup replay, although it kept them winless in three games. Yet, the mood in the visiting camp will be high as they are in the midst of an impressive run in the league. They have won three and drew one of their last five league games although they lost their last match on New Year’s Day. They are still one of the best defensive units in the division, having conceded only 28 goals so far. That could come to their rescue as Bristol City look to improve their away record. They have won just one of their last eight away league games, losing four and drawing three.
