Preston North End will host Swansea City at Deepdale on Tuesday in the 35th round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be keen to put an end to their disappointing league form by getting a result this midweek.
Preston were delighted to end Burnley's 23-game unbeaten streak across all competitions with a comprehensive 3-0 win in the FA Cup on Saturday and will look to build on that, having won just one of their last five league games. The hosts, who lost 2-1 to Coventry City in their last league fixture, are sat in 15th place and will be looking to get their 10th league win of the season, which would see them move a couple of places higher.

Swansea picked up only their second win since the start of the year with an impressive 3-0 victory over Blackburn last time out and will hope that marks a turning point in what has been an inconsistent season so far. The visitors are only one place and two points behind Tuesday's hosts and will be optimistic of getting a result when they make the trip to Preston.
