The action continues in round 14 of the EFL Championship as Preston North End and Swansea City lock horns at the Deepdale Stadium on Wednesday. Paul Heckingbottom’s men are unbeaten in their last four home games against the Swans since August 2021 and will be looking to extend this impressive four-year streak.
Lewis Dobbin and substitute Mads Frokjaer-Jensen netted in either half to hand Preston North End a 2-0 victory over Southampton at St. Mary Stadium on Saturday.
Before that, Heckingbottom’s side snapped their run of two consecutive defeats on October 24, when they fought back from two goals down to secure a 3-2 home victory over Sheffield United.
Preston have picked up 22 points from their 13 Championship matches so far to sit sixth in the league standings, but could move into fourth place with a win on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Irish international Adam Idah finished off a well-worded team goal in the 64th minute to hand Swansea City a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic at the weekend.
With that result, the Swans have failed to win five of their last six matches, claiming two draws and losing three, including a 3-1 defeat against Manchester City in the EFL Cup fourth round on October 29.
Swansea have picked up 17 points from their 13 league matches so far to sit 17th in the table, level on points with 16th-placed Wrexham.
