Preston v Norwich

Preston vs Norwich Preview

Preston NE extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to three games on the weekend when the hosts registered a 1-0 home win against Coventry City, while Norwich City further extended their unbeaten sequence of results in the Championship to five games after claiming a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Stoke City.

Preston's win on Saturday against Coventry City made it two wins out of their last three games overall which included a previous comprehensive 3-0 home win against Watford but the Lancashire club could face a much tougher opponent in the shape of seventh placed Norwich City at Deepdale on Tuesday night.

Tuesday night's hosts have managed to capture just three wins within their opening 10 league games of this new campaign and includes an earlier victory gained over Luton Town with a 1-0 win at Deepdale but Preston NE have also slipped to four defeats as well.

Indeed, losses at the hands of Sheffield United, Swansea City, Oxford United and Millwall have contributed to Preston NE's current position in the lower half of the Championship table, while the bigger picture shows Paul Heckingbottom's side have registered just three wins in their last 15 matches overall, along with being handed nine defeats in the process.

Norwich City will head up to Lancashire in confident mood as The Canaries bring a five-game unbeaten spell into this midweek fixture at Deepdale which consists of three wins and two draws; victories gained over Watford, Derby County and Hull City along with points gained in draws with Leeds United and Stoke City are expected to stand the visitors in good stead here.

Results in recent times have improved for Norwich City in the English second tier as The Canaries have suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches overall which came in the form of a 1-0 defeat away from home at Swansea City this season but otherwise, Norwich have been pretty consistent of late.

The East Anglian side have picked up four wins within these previous nine games which includes a 1-0 win away from home in the west midlands at Coventry City in the early weeks of this new Championship campaign.

Results away from home though have been a mixed bag where Norwich City have been concerned as the visitors have picked up just three victories in their last eight outings on the road but one of these wins came in the shape of a 1-0 win away from home at Preston NE towards the end of last season.
