Team News

Preston
Arsenal
  • Josh Bowler will be assessed, but Preston have no fewer than five confirmed absentees here.
  • Among those is the suspended Milutin Osmajic.
  • Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes both came off in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, though the former was due to cramp.
  • Neto is ineligible, while Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney and Riccardo Calafiori are injured.

Prediction

  • While Preston are unbeaten in five heading into Wednesday's welcome of Arsenal, they threw away a three-goal lead at Plymouth on Saturday to share the spoils with the Pilgrims.
  • Arsenal were twice pegged back by Liverpool on Sunday afternoon as they played out a 2-2 draw with the Reds.
  • Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is likely to tinker with his XI but Arsenal's strength in depth should see them prevail in midweek.
