In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Bristol City, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Birmingham City, by (0‑1). Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 22 points in away matches and only 13 at their stadium. For the league, Preston North End won 13 points out of 30 possible points, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (6 out of 12 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 6 of the last 12 for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 13 of their 25 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 12 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Preston North End comes to this round with a 0-1 victory at Birmingham, putting an end to the two consecutive losses in this second English division: the only goal of the match was scored by Scott Sinclair. Facing a more competent opponent, coach Alex Neil should favor defensive organization and counterattacks by the aisles. The man in the midfield, Daniel Johnson, is very dangerous in the game of set pieces and long-distance shots. Out of this game are Louis Moult, Ben Pearson, Patrick Bauer and Billy Bodin, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel Iversen, Andrew Hughes, Paul Huntington, Brad Potts, Ben Davies, Joe Rafferty, Alan Browne, Ben Whiteman, Scott Sinclair, Jayson Patrick Molumby, Ryan Ledson, Emil Riis.
Coach: R. Lowe.
