Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion are set to battle it out at Deepdale on matchday 43 of the EFL Championship. Preston are in 13th place in the league standings, while West Brom are 21st. Here's our match prediction.

Preston have established themselves as a difficult team to beat in the EFL Championship. They head into this clash having avoided defeat in their last four league games (W2, D2).

In their most recent match, they beat Charlton 2-1 on the road. That win couldn't have come at a better time, as it halted a seven-match winless run away from home.

The Lilywhites return to their humble abode, aiming to make it two straight league wins for the first time since January 4th. However, their home form has left much to be desired, with just one win in their last five games.

West Brom are flirting with relegation in the EFL Championship. After 42 games, they find themselves languishing in the bottom four and have maintained a two-point cushion over the red dotted line.

James Morrison's may have avoided defeat in their last seven league games, but wins have been hard to come by. They recorded five draws while securing wins against Hull City and Bristol City.

Their most recent match was a goalless draw against Millwall at home. This comes after a mirror result against Blackburn. In fact, they've drawn their last three league games.
