Match Preview

Michael O'Neill's tenure as Blackburn manager started with a critical three points away from home against QPR as Mathias Jorgensen's brace sealed a 3-1 away win. Rovers are now three points clear of Leicester in the top relegation spot heading into Friday's rivalry.

Milutin Osmajic came off the bench to salvage a point for Preston against Edward Still's Watford side last weekend. The Lilywhites have bounced back from a tough run of form with a three-match unbeaten streak, but Friday's visitors have still won just one of their last six.
