In the last match, they have won in an away match against Barnsley by (1‑3), after in the previous match they have lost (1‑4) at home, against Blackburn Rovers. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 19 conceded. For the league, Preston won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

Preston comes to this round motivated after an away win, by 1-3, in the visit to Barnsley's stadium: Johnson and Riis scored the goals of the triumph. Ryan Lowe's team usually plays in a 5-3-2, where the two most advanced men are Cameron Archer and Emil Riis. Taking into account the tactical formation used, one of the great qualities of the home team is the channeling of their attacks, mostly through the central aisle. It should be noted that Preston also presents interesting notes from the point of view of aerial play. Coach Ryan Lowe should not be able to count on right-back Matthew Olosunde as he is, at this stage, recovering from a groin injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel Iversen, Sepp van den Berg, Brad Potts, Liam Lindsay, Bambo Diaby, Benjamin Whiteman, Daniel Johnson, Alistair McCann, Alan Browne, Emil Riis, Cameron Archer.
Coach: R. Lowe.
