The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Preston North End host Norwich City on Tuesday. The Canaries are unbeaten in four visits to the Deepdale Stadium.
Preston continued their surge into the top half of the standings with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Coventry City on Saturday. Paul Heckingbottom’s men have won two of their last three matches, with a goalless draw against Burnley at Turf Moor on October 5 sandwiched between the two victories.
After weeks of mediocre results, this upturn in form has seen Preston rise to 15th in the Championship, level on 12 points with Hull City and Swansea City.
Trending
Meanwhile, Norwich were guilty of a lack of sting in front of goal, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday. That result means the Canaries have gone five games without defeat, winning three, since a 1-0 loss to Swansea City in September.
With 16 points from 10 matches, Norwich are seventh in the Championship, level on points with eighth-placed Watford.
