Norwich City will host Preston North End at Carrow Road on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have performed well in the second half of the season and are pushing for the promotion playoffs as they sit eighth in the league table with 43 points from 31 matches.
They were held to a 1-1 draw by Derby County in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points on home turf following a second-half strike from Josh Sargent before their relegation-threatened opponents snatched a point from the spot at the death.
Preston North End are also playing well as they continue their push for the top half. They suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in their last league outing but returned to winning ways on Saturday as they beat Wycombe Wanderers on penalties to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Trending
The visitors sit 15th in the league table with 37 points and will be looking to mark their return to league action with a win.
