Team News

Preston
Hull
  • Centre-back Liam Lindsay will likely be replaced by Patrick Bauer after he was sent off during the defeat to QPR last time out.
  • Ched Evans and Andrew Hughes are both doubtful for Preston on Boxing Day.
  • Ruben Selles will likely opt for an unchanged line-up after watching his men claim all three points against Swansea last time out.
  • Attacking midfielder Kasey Palmer will miss the next six to eight weeks after picking up an ankle injury.

Prediction

  • Preston took an early lead against an in-form QPR side last time out thanks to Milutin Osmajic's controversial goal, but the Lilywhites collapsed in the second half and were ultimately beaten 2-1, after going down to 10 men.
  • Paul Heckingbottom's side have failed to record a victory in their last six league outings at Deepdale.
  • Mason Burstow was the hero last Saturday as his late goal helped Hull to their first win under new manager Ruben Selles.
  • The 2-1 victory against mid-table Swansea lifted the Yorkshire club from 24th place to 21st, meaning they head into gameweek 23 outside of the relegation zone.
