Match Preview

Leicester moved within one point of safety two weeks ago as they played out a goalless draw with a mid-table Watford side at Vicarage Road. Gary Rowett's men are slowly improving and have lost just one of their last four as they continue to fight for survival.

Preston eased fears that they could be dragged into the relegation battle with a dominant 3-1 comeback win over Stoke before the international break. That result ended a four-match losing streak for Paul Heckingbottom's side.
