Preston North End and Millwall will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday nine fixture on Saturday (October 10th). The game will be played at Deepdale.

The hosts were last in action when they shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to QPR before the international break two weeks ago. They went into the break with a two-goal and one-man advantage, with Johnny Kenny scoring a brace while Dennis Cirkin was sent off between his goals. Kwame Poku halved the deficit in the 66th minute while Paul Smyth equalized in the 90th minute.

Millwall, meanwhile, also let a two-goal halftime lead slip as they shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham. Caleb Taylor broke the deadlock in the 16th minute while Camiel Neghli doubled his side’s advantage in first-half injury time. Mohamadou Kante and Konstantinos Mavropanos scored late goals to ensure the spoils were shared, with the former getting sent off in the final minute of regulation time.

The stalemate left the Lions in 11th spot in the table, having garnered 11 points from eight games. Preston are second from bottom with four points to their name.

Millwall sit just outside the promotion spots, with two points separating them from the top eight. Alex Neil’s side are winless in their last three away games, conceding at least two goals in each and losing two. However, they will be buoyed by their impressive record in this fixture.
